REGULAR GRADUATE STUDENTS

Students who are approved to work toward a graduate degree at Tuskegee University are designated as regular graduate students. An advisor or a graduate committee will outline a program of study for a regular graduate student early after the first registration in a proposed program.

FULL GRADUATE STATUS

A graduate with the bachelor's degree from an accredited or approved institution who possesses the necessary undergraduate preparation in the field in which study is intended and who has a minimum cumulative grade point average of "2.70" may be admitted with full graduate status. Admission as a graduate student does not constitute candidacy for the master's degree. Such candidacy may be achieved only on the basis of the student's graduate record at Tuskegee University.

CONDITIONAL GRADUATE STATUS

A student who has

  1. a bachelor's degree from an unaccredited college, or

  2. a deficiency in curricular requirements in the field in which study is desired, or

  3. a deficiency in admission requirements set by the College or department, or

  4. a cumulative grade point average less than 2.70 but greater than or equal to 2.50, upon recommendation of the department and College Dean, may be admitted as a conditional student.

Additionally, a student with an incomplete transcript may be admitted conditionally for one semester only.

If a conditional graduate student does not achieve full graduate status after the completion of nine semester credit hours of graduate-level courses (minimum grade point average 2.70), the student shall forfeit admission as a conditional graduate student.

A student may advance from conditional graduate to full graduate status upon the recommendation of the Dean of the College and approval by the Dean of Graduate Programs. To apply for a change from conditional graduate to full graduate status, the student and the Major Professor must submit five copies of the APPLICATION FOR CONVERSION FROM CONDITIONAL GRADUATE TO FULL GRADUATE STATUS to the College Dean. The College Dean's recommendation of change will be indicated by forwarding the student's five originally signed copies and an official transcript to the Dean of Graduate Programs.

Upon receiving full graduate status, the student may have a review of credits awarded during the conditional period for consideration of credit toward the degree. Prior to the initial registration, the conditional student must have received the College Dean's approval to study courses for credit which must be based on a specified level of academic performance.

PROVISIONAL STATUS

An undergraduate student, with senior classification, who has less than 15 semester credit hours of required course work for the completion of requirements for the baccalaureate degree and whose cumulative grade point average is 2.70 or above may be accepted provisionally. Ile student may enroll in no more than six semester credit hours of courses designated FOR ADVANCED UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS. These courses are listed at the 500 level. An undergraduate student may not enroll in 600 level courses. Approval by the course instructor, the Department Chairperson, the College Dean and the Dean of Graduate Programs must be obtained before registering for courses. Upon receipt of the baccalaureate degree, the student may apply for admission through the Office of Admissions. Additional information is listed in the section: GRADUATE CREDIT FOR UNDERGRADUATES.
