This message is an update on the proposed changes in Rackham Graduate School’s enrollment policy for PhD students at the University of Michigan. Rackham plans to implement a policy of continuous enrollment in PhD programs starting Fall 2010. If it is implemented it will affect all new and continuing PhD students. This means that students will be required to be enrolled at the UM as long as they are active in the PhD program. The policy will not affect students’ ability to conduct research or engage in dissertation writing away from Ann Arbor, as long as they remain enrolled. They will still be able to take leaves of absence for personal or professional reasons.
