CATEGORIES OF GRADUATE STUDENTS

has satisfied the requirements for Admission to
one of five categories as follows:

classified in

CA TEGOR Y

I

(NON-DEGREE)

comprises students who do not express an intention to
become candidates for a master's degree in one of the programs for which
a degree or certificate is authorized, or who have been transferred to this
category from other categories as stipulated below.
Students in Category I may apply for transfer to Category III or
Category IV. Not more than 12 semester hours taken as a student in
Category I may be applied toward a master's degree unless a special
dispensation is granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
A student may choose to remain indefinitely in Category I (for
example, a student interested only in certification credit).

Category

I

CATEGORY

II

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 State College, he/she is eligible for transfer to Categories III or IV;
otherwise, the student is transferred to Category I after nine semester
hours have been completed.
This

CATEGORY
Category

III

comprises individuals other than those in Category II
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 IV 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 made up.
III

CATEGORY

IV

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 IV in order to be eligible to apply for

Admission to Candidacy for a master's degree. A student in Category IV
who has not attained Admission to Candidacy after completing 12 semester
hours of graduate work is transferred to Category I unless an extension of
time has been granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies. The request for
extension of time must certify that the delay was the result of circumstances beyond the control of the student and must be endorsed by the
student's adviser.

CA TEGOR Y V
This category comprises students who have been admitted to candidacy for a master's degree. An individual in Category V is transferred to
Category I if his cumulative quality point average falls below 3.0. or if he
has not completed his program within the time limit (see Section 2.03).

ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY FOR A MASTER'S DEGREE

Admission to Candidacy for a Master's Degree is subject to the following conditions:
(1) The student must be in Category IV (See Section 2.06).
(2) Transcripts of all undergraduate and previous graduate study
must be on file in the office of the Dean of Graduate Studies.
(3) The Graduate Qualifying Test (Miller Analogies Test) must
have been taken with satisfactory score.
(4) The student must file an application for Admission to Candidacy with the Dean of Graduate Studies after nine semester hours (or
immediately after 12 semester hours) of the proposed program. Under
certain circumstances the dean may approve an extension of time. The
application must be endorsed by the student's adviser; the endorsement
presumes that the adviser has had adequate opportunity to formulate
judgment about the student's ability, and recommends candidacy.
(5) A student who is applying for candidacy for the Master of
Education degree must have filed with the Dean of Graduate Study
evidence of possession of a valid teaching certificate.

MASTER OF EDUCATION DEGREE

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.

evidence that the applicant has completed graduate courses in accordance
with requirements stated in a bulletin which may be secured from the
Bureau of Teacher Certification in the Department of Education.
The College welcomes teachers who wish to use its resources to fulfill the course requirements for the certificate. No formal program is constructed for this purpose and no responsibility is assumed by the College,
but students are invited to consult the Dean of Graduate Studies when
selecting courses. Students who wish to take courses for this purpose are
classified in Category I.
2.26

GRADUATION

It is the responsibility of the student to apply for graduation not
than the final date stated in the official graduate calendar. A blank to
apply for graduation may be secured at the Graduate Office.
The dates for completion of thesis and department papers, comprehensive examinations, defense of thesis, payment of graduation fees (and
binding fees if applicable) are also listed in the official graduate calender.
The dates provide minimum time necessary to compile graduation lists,
order diplomas and academic costumes, and complete other necessary

later

details.

A student who files an application for graduation after the specified
date will be included in the first subsequent commencement; however, a
student is eligible upon completion of all degree requirements to receive a
letter certifying that the requirements for the degree have been completed
and stating the date upon which the degree is to be formally conferred.
