SUBSEQUENT APPLICATION
Admission to graduate studies remains valid for one long semester only, unless the student, during this period, engages in active graduate work. A student must submit a new application requesting admission into a different degree program or if he/she does not attend during a fall or spring semester. One of two forms, the Graduate Studies Application for Reinstatement or the Graduate Studies Application for Admission, must be submitted. In either case, the application fee does not need to be paid a second time.
The Graduate Studies Application for Reinstatement is used if:
- the student wishes to continue in the same degree program, and
- the student's absence from the program has been for less than three years.
The Graduate Studies Application for Admission is used if:
- the student wishes to change degree/major sought, degree-seeking status, or certification-seeking status, or
- the student's absence from the program has been for three years or more.
A Graduate Studies Application for Reinstatement and a Graduate Studies Application for Admission may be obtained through the Graduate Studies home page at https://www.shsu.edu/graduate. For more information, please call 936-294-1971.
