Part III: General Requirements

In addition to completing the program requirements outlined above, students must adhere to the following policies and expectations to fulfill degree requirements:

  • Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in all graduate courses. A student earning less than 3.0 will be placed on academic probation the following semester (this includes summer sessions for which you enroll). If one鈥檚 cumulative GPA is still below 3.0 at the end of the next semester, the student may be suspended for one year. The student may reapply; however, he or she must be able to demonstrate to the Graduate Committee a commitment to complete a master鈥檚 degree program successfully.
  • Students admitted conditionally must complete their first 15 hours of graded graduate course credit) with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA (refer to the Graduate Catalog, Admissions Conditions).
  • All grades count toward your overall GPA, including courses that are repeated. Transfer grades do not calculate in your GPA. They must be a B or higher to transfer. Required courses are offered once or twice each academic year. These courses must be completed for graduation. As such, they will not be waived. Be sure to schedule required classes when they appear on the Course Offerings website or plan to take the course when it is offered a second time. The student should consult his or her advisor if unsure when specific courses are offered.
  • Students must achieve a grade of C or better in any course to count toward graduation. A grade of C- in a required course or any course for which the earned hours are to be included toward the total hours earned cannot be applied toward degree requirements and the course must be retaken. If a course must be repeated because of failure to earn the required C grade, both grades earned will figure into the total grade point average. The number of times a course can be retaken/repeated varies; check with your advisor to find out how many times a course can be retaken/repeated.
  • Graduate courses may not be taken on a pass/fail basis.
  • If a grade of Incomplete (I) is received for a course, you must complete the work for the course within six (2) weeks into the next semester in which you are enrolled. Two weeks into the next enrolled semester, all incompletes will be converted to failing (F) grades.
  • Permission to enroll in more than 18 hours in a specific semester must be obtained from the Graduate Chair and the Dean of the College. Additional fees will be assessed to a student if he or she enrolls in more than 18 hours.
  • There is a six-year time limit for all Coaching Education students to complete a master鈥檚 degree.
  • The program of study outlined in the graduate catalog of a student鈥檚 entry date into the University is the program followed. Students should work closely with their academic advisors to ensure that they take the courses necessary each semester to meet their graduation requirements. Each graduate student must apply for graduation through the graduation office in Chubb Hall and pay the application fee by the date indicated in the schedule of classes. Refer to the Graduate Catalog for additional information.
