A student may choose to remain indefinitely in Category 510 (for example, a student interested only in certification credit). CATEGORY II (520) This category comprises graduate students who in their application for admission indicated an intention to pursue a master's degree program but whose undergraduate record showed a quality point average lower than 2.25. If a student in this category makes an average of 3.0 or higher in the first six to nine semester hours of graduate study at Bloomsburg University, he/she is eligible for transfer to Categories 530 or 540; otherwise, the student is transferred to Category 510 after nine semester hours have been completed. CATEGORY III (530) Category 530 comprises individuals other than those in Category 520 who indicated an intention to pursue an existing master's degree program and who have not yet been certified as clear of undergraduate deficiencies. Transfer to Category 540 is automatic when the adviser certifies to the graduate dean that there are no undergraduate deficiencies to be made up for the chosen program, or when previously identified deficiencies have been successfully completed. CATEGORY IV (540) This category comprises graduate students who have no undergraduate deficiencies for the master's degree programs which they are pursuing. A student must be in Category 540 in order to be eligible to apply for admission to candidacy for a master's degree. A student in Category 540 who has not attained admission to candidacy after completing 12 semester hours of graduate work is transferred to Category 510 unless an extension of time has been granted by the dean of Graduate Studies.

When a course has been repeated, only the last entry is used. 2.20 Repeating No course Courses 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 30 semester hours of graduate credit.

A student who is applying for candidacy for the Master of Education (5) degree must have filed with the dean of Graduate Studies evidence of possession of a valid teaching certificate. In case enrollment in a curriculum or in certain required courses thereof is restricted due to limited capacity, and a priority for admission has been established, the adviser may inform an advisee who is making satisfactory progress that endorsement of his application for Admission to Candidacy is being deferred until space can be assured. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the dean of Graduate Studies of the reason for the delay in filing the application.
