Required courses already taken at the undergraduate level, in some cases, will not have to be repeated. However, a student must select electives to make up the required number of credit hours. The selection must be approved by the advisor. Special Admissions Status Students admitted to the Graduate School as special students on probationary or provisional status should be thoroughly familiar with the contingencies associated with their special programs. Rules and regulations for special students are found in the Graduate School Catalogue.
Advisors are available if students have questions regarding their special programs.
Advisement Upon admission to the Department of Special Education, the student is assigned a program advisor. Students are assigned whenever possible to advisors whose expertise and interests are complementary to their own stated objectives for graduate study and professional career goals. The same advisor usually also supervises the student's thesis or master's research with the aid of the program committee. The program committee consists of two members of the graduate faculty chosen by the student and advisor. Transfer of Credit Six hours of graduate credit may be transferred from another accredited university, provided the courses are not taken by extension and are approved by the student's advisor, who files the necessary forms with the Graduate Division of the School of Education.
