Can you pause your degree?

[allvia]

I've known students who have done this (term break, by design) in order to maximize their employer tuition assistance. It works best with the goal to accelerate the program, and careful start date planning (up to three terms max, otherwise the 'pause term math' starts to fail). Yet another reason to max your transfers in before starting at WGU. And just to be clear, you cannot transfer in from outside during a pause (as you'd still be considered an active/enrolled student - the pause works more like taking the 'summer off).
