This application should be submitted to the Graduate College, Room B-159, by those students who have been officially admitted to a master’s degree program and who have satisfied all published qualifications for degree candidacy in that program. Among the requirements:
Completion of a minimum of twelve credits (fifteen credits for the Counseling Program) in a Master’s degree program to which the student was officially admitted. A maximum of six credits of coursework accepted from other colleges/universities may apply. The required courses for each counseling program are listed below.
Fulfillment of any program prerequisite deficiencies that were identified at the time of admission to the program or subsequently recommended by the program.
A minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B), including all credits in the major area even though they might not be applied to the program itself.
Any specific requirements applicable to the individual program, such as possession of a permanent teacher’s certificate.
Complete and return the first two copies of the application to the Dean of the Graduate College. After the application has been evaluated by both the Graduate College and the Graduate Advisor for the program, the student will receive a letter of response from the Graduate College.
Acceptance to degree candidacy is a registration requisite for a thesis seminar, practicum/internship, some graduate courses, and for submission of the Application for Graduation. In addition, for any student who was admitted to a master’s program on a conditional basis, acceptance to degree candidacy is also formal recognition of having attained full standing in the program.
