Students should take such possibilities into account in scheduling various examinations and thesis or dissertation reviews. The course and research requirements for graduate degrees are expressed in terms of graduate credit. Graduate credit may not be earned by examination or by correspondence. A candidate for an advanced degree must have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and a 3.0 on course work on the program of study. To count for graduate credit the grade in a course must be C or better and no course may be counted more than once in a program.
Retaken courses remain on the transcript and are considered as part of the record.
A graduate student's record will be reviewed after the completion of each session. The faculty member has the responsibility to provide written notification to the student of the work required to remove the incomplete. If the student does not make up the I during the next semester after receiving it, a grade may be given by the faculty member without further consultation with the student. A grade of NR will be treated in a like manner. These courses may not be applied toward a degree.
