Policy for Transfer
of Course into Graduate
Degree Programs
As of
the fall 2005 semester,
students seeking a
graduate degree in the
School of Education may
request a transfer of a
maximum of 12 credit
hours of required
courses from any
institution, including
IU South Bend, into
School of Education
graduate degree
programs. Each program
in the School of
Education may further
limit the number of
transfer credit hours
and specific courses
that may be transferred.
The transfer of all
courses must be approved
by the program
coordinator or a
designee. All courses
transferred into
graduate degree programs
in the School of
Education must have a
grade of B or better.
Any
graduate student may
choose to be evaluated
on a Pass/Fail basis
(P/F) in any elective
course, up to a maximum
of four courses per
degree program and not
more than two courses in
any calendar year. A
Master of Science in
Education degree
candidate may not elect
the Pass/Fail option for
any of the credit hours
required in the major,
minor, or any area of
certification.
A
student choosing the
Pass/Fail (P/F) option
for an elective course
must do so during the
first three weeks of a
regular semester or
during the first two
weeks of a summer
session by processing
the prescribed request
in the Education Student
Services Office. This
election is not
reversible.
An
application for a degree
must be completed and
filed six months before
the degree is to be
granted. The application
is to be filed in the
Education Student
Services Office. Failure
to file this application
by the proper deadline
may result in failure to
graduate at the expected
time. The responsibility
for checking degree
requirements rests with
the student.
•
Students failing to
maintain a B (3.0)
average in all work
taken after the
bachelor’s degree
will be placed on
academic probation
and so notified. If
a student fails to
remove the
probationary status
during the next
enrollment period,
the privilege of
continuing in the
School of Education
may be denied.
Students who have
been dismissed from
the School of
Education are not
eligible for
recommendation for
teaching or other
licenses. Students
who have been
dismissed may appeal
to the office of the
dean if there are
extenuating
circumstances that
may not have been
considered.
•
A student who has
been admitted to the
School of Education
but denied admission
to a particular
program may not take
any further work in
that area of study
unless the program
agrees to the
continued work.
•
All work must be
completed within six
calendar years from
the date of the
receipt of a grade
in the first course
that is to be used
toward the degree.
•
All graduate
students are
expected to abide by
all specific program
policies. In
addition to academic
performance, IU
South Bend's
graduate students
will be evaluated on
the basis of their
professional conduct
and dispositions.
Unsatisfactory
professional conduct
or unprofessional
dispositions
observed on the part
of a graduate
student in the
School of Education
in classes at IU
South Bend or in
field or clinical
experiences, may
result in that
student's dismissal
from the graduate
program.
Dispositions will be
assessed as part of
the Unit Assessment
System. Also, a
Letter of Concern
will serve as
documentation of
concerns related to
professional conduct
or dispositions.
School of Education
procedures will be
followed when
documenting concerns
about dispositions
with a letter of
concern. Letter of
Concern procedures
are described in
detail in this
Campus Bulletin
on page 86.
NOTE:
Electronic mail (e-mail)
is the official means of
communication with
students at IU South
Bend. A student’s
failure to receive or
read official university
communications sent to
the student’s official
e-mail address does not
absolve the student from
knowing and complying
with the content of the
official communication.
It is recommended that
students check e-mail
messages at least once a
day. Students will be
made aware of program
changes via e-mail sent
to their university
address.
