There are two significant changes to this policy. One is allowing the use of graduate level courses completed as an undergraduate; previous policy required that all courses be completed post-baccalaureate. The second is the structure of the number of credits required for completion as a degree-seeking graduate student. The revised policy no longer outlines a specific percentage of courses that need to be completed as a University student (previous policy stipulated 60%) and a set number of credits that may be completed in common between two master’s degrees (previous policy was 8 credits). Rather the revised policy stipulates a “core” number of credits that must be completed as a degree-seeking graduate student and the remaining number of credits needed to complete University minimums can be fulfilled by transfer credits, non-degree, and credits in common.
The deadline for comments is Saturday, July 23, 2016. Please take time to review this policy as well as the frequently asked questions. Your feedback will help to provide clarity for where there is concern and assist the Graduate Education Council (GEC) Policy Subcommittee with creating additional FAQs to support this policy.
