°µÍøTV

• No course for which a grade less than a C (2.0) is earned may be accepted toward a graduate degree. Higher standards may be required by specific programs.
  
  
• All courses applied toward graduate degrees must be taken within the six-year period immediately preceding the granting of the degree. Each doctoral program’s length is noted in the specific program section.
  
  
• No more than 9 credits taken at °µÍøTV before admission to a specific degree program will apply toward a graduate degree.
  
  
• No more than 12 credits taken at other accredited universities can be transferred toward a specific degree program (see program section for specifics). The credits must be in classes that are functionally identical to courses required by the °µÍøTV program and are accepted at the discretion of the specific program.
  
  
• The number of credit-by-examination courses and workshops that may be applied toward a graduate degree are determined by the individual graduate program, but in no case may more than 6 credits be applied toward a master's degree. In some doctoral degrees, 10 credits are allowed (see program section for specifics). Only admitted students are eligible for the credit-by-examination option and examinations may be taken only in quarters in which the student is enrolled.
  
  
• No more than 15 credits in independent study and research — including thesis, practicum, or project credit — may apply toward a graduate degree. Doctoral programs have different graduation requirements.
  
  
• All graduate Internship, Thesis, and project courses must be completed within three years of initial enrollment in the course. Students enrolled in such courses will receive a graduate in-progress grade of “G” until the course is completed. After a lapse of three years the “G” becomes permanent.
  
  
• No graduate work taken at another institution during the time a student is working on a graduate degree at °µÍøTV may apply toward an °µÍøTV degree, unless the student has the prior written approval of the graduate director.
  
  
• One-credit courses are not transferable and may not be applied toward a graduate degree.

Graduate courses may not be taken for a pass/no-credit option with the exception of Thesis, Dissertation, research, Practicum, Internships, and projects. Any exceptions are determined at the discretion of the graduate programs.
