Steps Required to Complete Your Degree
Conditionally Classified Graduate Status
Students who do not meet all requirements may be accepted as conditionally classified students, subject to meeting various University and program requirements for classified status. It is important to achieve full classified standing prior to completing 12 units of graduate coursework on the program of study. No more than 12 units of work taken prior to attaining fully classified status will be applied to a master’s degree program.
Classified Graduate Status
To be granted classified status, students must have a 3.0 GPA for all work taken as a conditionally classified student and in any courses required by the program for admission to its program. Once the requirements for classified status have been met, it is the responsibility of the students to notify their graduate coordinator. The graduate coordinator will then submit the Classification form to the Office of Graduate Studies.
To meet the minimum requirements for classified status, the student must fulfill the following (individual programs may have more stringent standards):
- A 3.0 GPA or higher in all work taken after completion of a bachelor’s degree.
- Hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution.
Graduation with Honors
