Doctoral Student Continuous Enrollment
Doctoral students who pass their comprehensive examination are required to maintain continuous enrollment at William Woods University. Students must be registered from the term after they pass comprehensives until they successfully defend their dissertation. Students who withdraw from the University, fail to enroll each semester or who are withdrawn from the University for nonpayment will be charged an EdD Continuous Enrollment fee upon readmission. This fee will equal the cost of two credit hours, with fees, for every semester they have not been enrolled. The tuition and fee rates in place when the student seeks readmission are used to determine the Continuous Enrollment fee.
After the EdD continuous enrollment fee is paid, the student will be assigned a dissertation supervisor who might or might not be the one with whom the student was working previously.
All doctoral students are required to complete their dissertation within five years of passing their comprehensive examination, including students who withdraw and are then readmitted to the program.
