Maintenance of Matriculation

Students may seek permission from Advising to enroll in Maintenance of Matriculation (MoM), a 0-credit course which will allow them to receive continued access to University resources (faculty advisors, university library, etc.) for a term in which they are not actively enrolled in credit-bearing courses. Enrollment in MoM will incur a $100 fee.  

Maintenance of Matriculation is primarily intended for students who are in the process of completing outstanding course or degree requirements, including the following situations: 

• Students no longer enrolled in but completing coursework for a thesis;  
• Students with Incomplete (“GD”) grades from a prior term but no enrollment for the current term; 
• Students who have completed degree coursework but who are not yet ready for graduation (graduate students in teacher certification granting programs only). 

Though students on Maintenance of Matriculation will retain access to university resources, they will not be eligible to receive any form of financial aid during the term(s) in which they are enrolled in MoM. However, students on MoM are subject to all of the policies, regulations, and community standards set in the Manhattanville Code of Conduct.  

Graduate students may enroll in Maintenance of Matriculation for a maximum of two terms. Doctoral students may enroll in Maintenance of Matriculation for a maximum of four terms.  

Enrollment in MoM is not intended for students who require a pause in their studies for a full term. Students in need of a full term away from their studies are advised to speak with Advising about requesting a Leave of Absence (LOA).
