Course Applicability
At the discretion of the Graduate Division and the graduate
program, credits for certain types of courses may or may not
be used to meet graduate degree requirements. Note the following
policies:
| Type of Course |
Credit Applicability toward
a Graduate Degree |
| Cr/NC Course |
Normally, only credits earned
with required letter grades may be applied toward a graduate
degree, with the following exceptions:
-
Credits earned for courses offering only the Cr/NC option
- 699 credits earned with the Cr designation (see
below)
|
| 699 Course |
With advance approval from the
graduate program and the Graduate Division, credits earned
for 699 courses may be applied toward a master's degree,
normally as electives only. The total number of applicable
699 credits is at the discretion of the graduate program,
subject to the following limits:
-
Master's Plan A —- up to six
credits
- Master's Plan B — up to nine credits
Credits earned for 699 courses may not be used to make
up undergraduate deficiencies.
For doctoral and graduate certificate programs, the
applicability of 699 courses are to be determined by
the programs. There are no limits set by the Graduate
Division. |
| Course used to substitute for a required
course |
Occasionally, a required course
in a graduate program is not available or is no longer offered due to program changes. With advance approval
from the graduate program and the Graduate Division, a
student may take another course as a substitute. (Use the Petition to Substitute or Waive Courses to obtain approval.) If the
substitute course is a 699 course, it must be taken for
grade. |

is completed. |
