In the most exceptional cases, the faculty member with the written approval of the division chair, may grant the request for an extension. An extension beyond two semesters will require the approval of the dean of the school or college in which the course was offered. Individual instructors may establish earlier deadlines for completion of the work. All credits on official transcripts are certified in terms of the semester hour. A semester hour consists of a minimum of 750-800 minutes of classroom contact on lecture courses or its equivalent in independent study during the semester.
Some academic divisions do have residency requirements.
Please consult the program description for your intended academic major. The policy used to determine residency status for fee purposes can be found under Fees. A grade of B or higher must have been earned in all such transfer credit. Official transcripts of all transfer work must be on file in the Office of Graduate Studies and Research prior to submitting degree plans. Transfer courses must be approved by the major division and the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research.
