A D grade is not acceptable for meeting degree requirements. Graduate students cannot retake a course in which they have made a C or higher grade. A grade of Incomplete may be reported for a student whose progress in a course has been satisfactory, but who is unable to receive a final grade because of circumstances beyond his control. An Incomplete must be removed within the first six weeks of the next term of enrollment in Graduate School, or one calendar year, whichever comes first. Students who receive Incomplete grades should immediately contact the Graduate Office regarding other regulations related to Incomplete grades.
All courses offer three semester hour credit.
Temporary students may not enroll in more than 6 semester hours. A conditionally admitted student may not enroll in more than 6 semester hours without approval from an advisor. A student who has scheduled an overload may not reschedule an overload in the subsequent term unless he maintains an overall grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale during the term in which the overload was scheduled. Any student who desires to drop or add a course or withdraw from Troy State for any reason must initiate the procedure through the Graduate Office. Unconditionally admitted students may apply for admission to candidacy after completing six hours.
