Have you filed your Graduate Plan of Study?

  • Plan of Study must be submitted by the end of the first quarter of enrollment or a hold will be placed upon future registration.

Need a Returning Student Application (RSA)?

  • If you did not register last quarter, you will need to submit the Graduate School RSA to update and reactivate your student record. There is no fee associated with filing this application.
  • The RSA is available online as an E-Sign form. Just fill in and submit electronically.

Registering for Thesis?

  • Thesis topic approval card must be approved before thesis registration will be authorized by the Graduate School.
  • Once topic approval is granted, a student should obtain departmental registration override before contacting the graduate school to request the Graduate School thesis registration override.
  • When both overrides are entered, student may register online for thesis credit.

Please note: Overrides must be entered each term to permit thesis registration.

5 Year Limit Reminder

  • Graduate degree programs at Western must be completed within five years of the quarter in which you were admitted to graduate studies. This includes all degree requirements, such as coursework, foreign language examination, thesis defense, and comprehensive examination (see programs for specific degree requirements).Please note that all student computer accounts, which allow access to computer labs, email, library privileges, and other student technology services, will be purged at the end of this five year period. When these accounts are purged, all files are deleted. If you are using the University's computer system for research, this information will be lost unless you notify the Graduate School of your intent to complete your degree. A graduate student must be enrolled for at least two state-supported credits at WWU during the quarter in which the degree is awarded or during the preceding (calendar) quarter. Students who have completed all program coursework and need to be registered in order to graduate are advised to register for Continuous Enrollment.
