Continuous Enrollment
Offered in Spring and Fall Only
Students who have not completed the Culminating Experience within the two semesters allotted are required to maintain Continuous Enrollment through the College of Professional & Global Education until the degree is earned. Continuous Enrollment courses are graduate-level courses set up by the College of Professional & Global Education for SF State students who need to remain actively enrolled in the University while they finish their graduate work.
