UNIVERSITY SENATE COUNCIL
Io ADMINISTRATION BUILDING

Members, University Senate
University Senate Council
AGENDA ITEM: University Senate Meeting, Tuesday,

April 28, l 81. Proposal for a Repeat Option and
computation of grade—point average for Graduate Students.

 

 

Background:

On the recommendation of the Graduate Faculty and after consideration
by the Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards, the Senate
Council submits to the Senate the following additions to the Rules of the

University Senate:

1)

”A student may repeat a graduate course and count only
the second grade as part of the graduate grade—point
average with the approval of the Graduate Dean. This
action will be initiated by petition of the Director of
Graduate Studies and may be done only once in a parti-
cular degree program or in post-baccalaureate status. ”

"If a graduate student changes programs, the graduate
grade-point average of that student will be determined
only on previously completed graduate work accepted by
the new program and graduate work attempted after ac-
ceptance into the program. When a student moves from
post—baccalaureate status into a program, the graduate
grade-point average includes only those hours transferred
from the post-baccalaureate status to the program and
those subsequently attempted for the program. When the
repeat option has been exercised, only the second grade
is to be considered in the grade—point average. "

Rationale:

The Graduate School requires an overall 3. O grade-point average on all
work carrying graduate credit. These changes permit a student to recover
from one calamitous event in a degree program.

Note: If approved, the proposals will be codified by the Rules Committee.

 REPEAT OPTION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

Original Modification

”A student may repeat a graduate course and count only the second grade
as part of the graduate grade-point average. This action will be
initiated by petition of the Director of Graduate Studies to the
Graduate Dean, and may be done only once in a particular degree program
or in post—baccalaurate status.”

Suggested Additional Modification

”A student may repeat a graduate course and count only the second grade
as part of the graduate grade~point average, with the approval of the
Graduate Dean. This action will be initiated by petition of the
Director of Graduate Studies and may be done only once.”

COMPUTATION OF GRADUATE GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Modification

”If a graduate student changes programs, the graduate grade—point average
of that student will be determined only on previously completed graduate
work accepted by the new program and graduate work attempted after
acceptance into the program. When a student moves from post—baccalaureate
status into a program, the graduate grade-point average includes only those
hours transferred from the post—baccalaureate status to the program

and those subsequently attempted for the program.”

Suggested Modification

 

"If a graduate student changes programs, the graduate grade—point average
of that student will be determined only on previously completed graduate
work accepted by the new program and graduate work attempted after
acceptance into the program. When a student moves from post—baccalaureate
status into a program, the graduate grade—point average includes only
those hours transferred from the post-baccalaureate status to the program
and those subsequently attempted for the program. When the repeat option
has been exercised. only the second grade is to be considered in the
grade—point average.

Rationale

Modification on Repeat Option for Graduate Students: the Committee felt
that the words ”in a particular degree program” might permit students to
repeat courses several times by shifting degree programs.

 

Modification on Computation of Graduate Grade Point Averagg: the Committee
felt that it should be made explicit that only the second grade is to be
considered in the grade-point average.
