2026 – 2027 Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook Page 31 A student who does not enroll for one year will be considered inactive. Inactive students may be administratively withdrawn from the University and their academic program. Students who have been administratively withdrawn and wish to return must reapply or follow the readmission process for their program. Students should refer to their respective catalog and handbook for specific requirements. A.8 Academic Inactivity Policy Students are required to make consistent progress toward completion of required courses for award of a degree or certificate. Any student who does not maintain enrollment in at least one course for one year (which is three consecutive semesters for most programs and four consecutive semesters for a few select programs) will be considered inactive and withdrawn from the university and all student privileges will cease, except for students on an official Title IV approved leave of absence or verified required military service. As inactivity may affect financial aid, students who received aid are advised to consult with a financial aid counselor to learn more about the impacts of inactivity on financial aid eligibility. Inactivity Policy for Service Members Students who are service members or reservists who are temporarily inactive due to verified required military service will be excluded from the academic inactivity policy, will not be withdrawn from the university, and will not be required to complete the readmission process. As inactivity may affect financial aid, students who received aid are advised to consult with a financial aid counselor to learn more about the impacts of inactivity on financial aid eligibility. A.9 Readmission Policy Students who are withdrawn from the university and wish to resume their studies must complete the readmission process outlined in the applicable college's or academic program's student handbook or catalog. Readmission to a college and academic program is solely at the discretion of the college and/or program and may require a petition for readmission, completion of the same admissions process as other entering students, and/or other specific conditions to be satisfied, such as repeating one or more courses or remediation. Students who are inactive only due to verified required military service will not be required to complete the readmission process. A.10 Student Account Holds A bursar hold is placed on a student’s account on the 30th day of the semester if a balance is still due. The bursar hold prevents students from accessing student services, including, but not limited to, campus residence hall check-in, future registration, and use of the NSU RecPlex. Other university entities, such as the Office of the University Registrar and the Office of Student Conduct, may place a hold on a student’s account for different reasons. Students must contact the office that initiated the hold(s) to discuss what requirements must be met to have the hold(s) removed. To view their hold(s), students must log in to SharkLink. A.11 Payment Policy By registering for courses at Nova Southeastern University, the student accepts financial responsibility for payment of all institutional costs including, but not limited to, tuition, fees, housing, health insurance, and meal plan (if applicable), and any additional costs when those charges become due.
