F1.8 Completion of Courses for the Degree

Updated: July 22nd, 2011

Master’s students must finish all courses required for the degree by the last day of the semester in which they expect the degree to be conferred. If students have Incompletes, No Reports, or In Progress grades, the department must indicate on the list of Plan II master’s candidates whether the courses are required for the degree.  For award of the Master’s degree, a student can have no more than one Incomplete per year of the degree program in a non-required course and if the program is longer than two years, no more than two Incompletes total to remain in good standing. For further information, see the section for “Deficiencies” above and the sections for “Incomplete grades” and “In Progress grades” in the “Course Work, Grading, Probation, and Dismissal” chapter of this guide (chapter E, section E1.3).

After completion of requirements for the degree for which they were admitted, students may not register and enroll for a subsequent semester unless they have been previously approved for a new degree goal or a new major (see section F4.3 in this chapter).
