Suggested Curriculum Sequence
The typical plan of study requires enrollment in a minimum of twelve (12) credit hours per term to remain full-time. Not every course is offered every term, and the following plan of study is an illustration. At the initial conference with an advisor, a preliminary plan of study will be established, and this will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies (using the SGS Plan of Study Form) after matriculation as a graduate student for placement in the student’s official file. At this time, any anticipated exceptions or anticipated transfer credits will be noted. An estimated time for completion of the Master’s Project or Thesis must be included. Changes to the plan of study will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies. The student and the advisor will sign the form submitted to the School of Graduate Studies.

Note
The student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for CREP 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 has been completed, and the student is completing the research and writing of the thesis. The course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student registers for 3 credit hours each semester, but is acknowledged as having a 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 CREP 799 (Thesis Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (CREP 799 will also count for 9 credit hours of load). Other courses cannot be substituted for CREP 797 (Thesis Guidance). The only eligible grade for CREP 797 (Thesis Guidance) is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for CREP 799 (Thesis Defense) is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
Continuing Semesters
Students who do not complete their project or thesis in the semester in which they are registered for these courses are required to continuously register for CREP 797: Thesis Guidance (2 credits but reports as 9 credit hours to establish full-time). CREP 797 must be repeated until the completed thesis is deposited with the School of Graduate Studies or the project is deposited to the program. Other courses cannot be substituted for Thesis Guidance. The only eligible grade for CREP 797 is the grade of S.
