Doctoral candidacy is not the same as admission to or enrollment in a doctoral program; it is a specific stage of doctoral program progress. https://catalog.unl.edu/graduate-professional/policies/academic-program-requirements/

Apply for Candidacy: https://graduate.unl.edu/academics/program-steps/doctoral-degree-steps-to-completion/

Once a student becomes a doctoral candidate, the student is required to enroll continuously until the program is completed.
