Graduate Continuous Enrollment (GCE) is for current Cal Poly Humboldt graduate students who have completed all of the course work listed on the approved graduate course list for the major.
Students are required to enroll for a minimum of one unit per term for at least two terms per academic year (fall, spring, summer) until your degree requirements are completed. Master's degree students who do not maintain continuous enrollment (two terms each academic year), and who have not been granted a leave of absence, are required to reapply for admission to the university and to the graduate program. If readmitted, student will be subject to any new admission or degree requirements that have been approved since the first admission to the program.

Please check with your graduate coordinator; additional requirements for registering through Extended Education vary by department. For example, in the Biological Sciences department, graduate students must have completed all the requirements above, and in addition have their thesis approved by their committee and graduate coordinator. They may register in one unit of BIOL x693 to return to campus the following semester to deliver their thesis presentation. For another example, Natural Resources allows graduate students to register through Extended Education after they have produced a complete first draft thesis and met the minimum requirements above.
