CONTINUING IN GRADUATE SCHOOL

Persons enrolled in The Graduate School of Education are regarded as members of the student body of Anderson College and are held responsible for conducting themselves in conformity with the moral and legal restraints found in any law-abiding community. Continued enrollment in The Graduate School is at all times subject to review of the student’s academic record and of the student’s actions with regard to observance of the rules and regulations of Anderson College.

Students will become academically ineligible to continue in The Graduate Program when any of the following are received in course work of an approved program of study to be applied to a degree or certificate program: (1) grades of U, F, or WF are received in any 6 semester hours; (2) grades of C (2.0) are received in 9 semester hours; (3) any grade of U, F or WF is received in combination with 6 semester hours of C grades (2.0); or (4) the required 3.0 for graduation is not achieved within the minimum number of semester hours required for the degree or certificate.

A student who is dismissed for academic reasons will be eligible to apply for readmission on a provisional basis after two semesters or the equivalent, and may be readmitted only upon the recommendation of the major department head or Director of Graduate Study and with the approval of the Vice-president for Academic Affairs.

For a student who has not yet attempted the minimum number of semester hours required for the degree, an exception to the regulation on academic ineligibility will be considered under either of the following circumstances: (1) where the student’s average is at least B (3.)); or (2) where the major departmental representative and the Vice-president of Academic Affairs agree that the student is in a good position to achieve an average of B (3.) in one additional semester of study. In the case of a student who has attempted the minimum number of semester hours required for the degree, the major departmental representative and the Division Head of Education will make an evaluation to determine whether the student is to be permitted to continue and, if so, what the plan of study shall be, 12 additional semester hours being the maximum allowed for achieving the required B (3.0) average.
