Enrollment Policies, Environmental Studies Program
CSUF’S CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT POLICY
CSUF policy requires graduate students to be continuously enrolled until
award of the degree (see CSUF Catalog for a complete statement of policy).
Conditionally classified or classified graduate students qualify for a
Leave of Absence for up to one (1) year, if they are in good academic
standing and have completed at least six (6) units applicable to the ENST
degree.
Breaks in enrollment without an approved leave automatically declassify
and remove the student from the Program! If you don’t plan to attend
during a semester and you aren’t eligible for a Leave of Absence,
you MUST register in Graduate Studies 700, but only if you have finished
all of your coursework.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Students wishing to remain in the ENST Program must file for a Leave of
Absence prior to the start of the semester you won’t be enrolled.
Should you forget to file a request, please file a “retro”
Leave of Absence immediately (this means file a Leave of Absence and write
“retro” on the top). Students who do not maintain continuous
enrollment or do not request an authorized leave will be disqualified
from the Program and must (1) reapply in order to continue their studies
and (2) re-file a Study Plan.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FINISH THE ENST MASTERS PROGRAM?
Five (5) years, beginning with the semester of the earliest course on
your Study Plan. When individual circumstances warrant, this time limit
may be extended to seven (7) years by filing a petition for “Extending
the Time Limit” with the Graduate Studies Office. The Coordinator
and the Graduate Studies office must both give prior approval for any
degree extensions.
NOTE: Approvals must be obtained prior to the expiration
of the five-year limit.
OUTDATED COURSEWORK
Outdated coursework (i.e., older than the approved time limit) must be
repeated or replaced. A maximum of nine (9) units of CSUF coursework may
be exempt from this policy if the courses can be validated by passing
a written comprehensive exam or by some equivalent method. Students may
opt to take a different course to “replace” the outdated coursework.
Note: Students must still file a petition to validate outdated coursework,
if the course(s) exceed the five (5) year limit.

WHAT IS THE PROGRAM’S POLICY ON GS-700 ENROLLMENT?
Per the CSU Fullerton Course Catalog 2001-2003, “students who have
taken ENST 597 Project or ENST 598 Thesis and received a grade of SP and
do not complete their project or thesis by the end of the second regular
semester (one full year), they will be subject to probation for “lack
of satisfactory progress towards the degree” and will be required
to maintain continuous enrollment through regular (not Extended Education)
enrollment” (page 194).
