GPH/MPH Registration Information
Students may register for courses by consulting with their advisor, and then entering their selections through U-Online's Registration Services during the online open registration period. Complete instructions for registering online are found in the Guide to Online Registration. Only matriculated students may register online. Non-matriculated students must register by contacting the Graduate Programs in Public Health Office at 207-221-4463 or 4467.
Registration Services will review all registrations at the end of each semester to make sure that students are still eligible to remain enrolled in courses for the upcoming semester that are restricted by prerequisites, major, or academic standing. You will be administratively dropped from courses for which you are no longer eligible and it will be your responsibility to replace those courses during registration.
Course Loads
A graduate student must be registered for at least 6 credits to be classified as full-time status. Being enrolled in less than 6 credits will result in part-time student status. This status may affect: financial aid, tuition billing, Veteran's Administration, insurance verifications. It is the student's responsibility to monitor their own enrollment status.
Withdrawal/Leave of Absence
A student may withdraw from all courses by completing either a Request for Leave of Absence Form or a Student Withdrawal Form. Note: The effective date of withdrawal is the date the University receives the completed paperwork. All tuition refunds are based on this effective date. Failure to properly withdraw may result in failing grades. If you do not intend to take courses for a term, please contact the Graduate Programs in Public Health Office to discuss your options.
