The adviser is appointed by the Dean of Graduate Studies upon recommendation of the department of the proposed specialization. An interview with the adviser is required prior to first registration for graduate courses and prior to each subsequent registration. Students in Category 510 are not assigned to advisers. They submit their registration materials directly to the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies. They may regard the Dean of Graduate Studies as an adviser in case assistance is needed in choosing courses or in interpreting academic regulations. 2.08 Credit Credit is measured in semester hours at the rate of one semester hour for fifteen hours of lecture-discussion work plus final examination. 2.09 Semester Hour Load During a period individual in which he/she is engaged in full-time employment, an may enroll in a maximum of six semester hours in a given semester. Overloads are permitted only upon approval by the Dean of Graduate Studies. Approval is given only in the most unusual circumstances. The maximum load for a full-time student in a semester In terms other than regular semesters, the is twelve semester hours. maximum is determined at the rate of one semester hour per week of full-time course work. The normal load of a graduate assistant on full stipend is six to nine semester hours; that of a graduate assistant on half stipend is nine to twelve semester hours. No overload 2.10 is permitted. Numbering Of Courses Courses numbered 500 or higher are open only to graduate students. Courses numbered below 500 and listed in this bulletin are open also to advanced undergraduates.

Master s Thesis If a master's thesis is included in the student's program, a committee is appointed by the Dean of Graduate Studies from individuals nominated by the student's adviser. The committee is responsible for guiding the study, certifying approval of a written report both in form and content, arranging for the defense, certifying satisfactory completion of the thesis and determining the grade. Three bound copies of the thesis must be filed with the Dean of Graduate Studies. The student is responsible for following all of the thesis procedures specified in a special bulletin which may be obtained in the Graduate Office. Where the requirements for a concentration for a Master's degree include a departmental paper, such a paper is interpreted as one which grows out of a course and therefore does not require special registration nor carry its own credit. Completion of a departmental paper must be certified by the adviser as a part of the application for graduation. 12/ ACADEMIC 2.17 POLICIES Graduate Courses In The Senior Year A senior who is registering for the semester (or summer term) in which he/she complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree and who requires less than fifteen semester hours (six semester hours in case of six week summer term or twelve semester hours in case of a two consecutive six week summer terms) may supplement the requisite undergraduate courses with graduate courses provided the total of undergraduate and graduate courses does not exceed the normal loads as stated herein. The recommendation of the student's undergraduate adviser, including his/her certification that the undergraduate courses listed will complete the baccalaureate requirements, must accompany the application for admission to graduate courses. The student must pay the graduate application fee. The graduate credit earned in this term is held in reserve until the baccalaureate degree has been completed. will 2.18 Graduate Assistantships A limited number of graduate assistantships are available for full-time graduate students. Application is made to the department in which the service would be performed. The maximum amount which may be earned by a graduate assistant in one year made either for this maximum sum or one-half of this sum. The graduate assistant on full stipend is responsible for 10 to 20 hours per week of service. The graduate assistant on half stipend is responsible for 5 to 10 hours per week is $2,705. Appointments are of service. 2.19 Grades And Averages Grades given for graduate courses are: A — Distinguished; scholarly work which exhibits independence and intellectual maturity. (4 quality points) B Good. (3 quality points) — C — Fair; acceptable toward a master's degree program within limits. (2 quality points) D — Not acceptable in a degree program E — Failing. — ( 1 quality point) (0 quality points) I Incomplete: work must be completed within four months unless the period is extended by the Dean of Graduate Studies for adequate reason. If the work is not made up, the grade is changed to N and the student is denied further opportunity to complete the work. RI Removal of Incomplete grade. N No grade; no credit. R Research in Progress. Withdrawn with approval of the Dean. The regulations governing the grade of are described in the paragraph on withdrawal. W — — — W— V— Audit. CR — Course repeated. The Cumulative Quality Point Average (QPA) is computed by the following process: (1) Multiply the number of quality point for each grade of A, B, C, D, or E in a graduate course taken at the university by the number of semester hours for the courses; (2) add these products; (3) divide by the sum of the semester hours for all grades which entered the computation. used. When a course has been repeated, only the last entry is ACADEMIC POLICIES/13 2.20 Repeating Courses No course may be repeated more than once. (See section 2.19 for effect on the quality point average.) 2.21 Academic Standards Each program that leads to a Master's degree requires a minimum of thirty semester hours of graduate credit. Credit for courses with grades below C is not accepted toward the requirements for the degree. The student's cumulative quality point average for graduation must be a 3.0 or higher. 2.22 Admission To Candidacy For A MASTER'S Degree Admission to Candidacy for a Master's degree is subject to the following conditions: The student must be (2) in Category 540 (see Section 2.06).
