***Upon achieving Master’s Candidacy, the student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for LAAR 797 (Thesis Guidance) until the Master’s Thesis is completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for review.  The course is used only when the curriculum is near completion, and the student is completing the research and writing of the thesis.  The course registration maintains the student’s status as a matriculated, full-time student (student is registered for 3 credit hours and the system reports a full-time 9 credit hour load).  After the Intent to Defend the Master’s Thesis form has been accepted by the School of Graduate Studies, this course registration will be changed to LAAR 799 (Thesis Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (LAAR 799 will also count for 9 credit hours of load).  Other courses cannot be substituted for LAAR 797.  The only eligible grade for LAAR 797 is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for LAAR 799 is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
