While working on a thesis or such other required creative effort at the master's level, a student must register for a course numbered 599, specifically designated for this purpose. The thesis ordinarily may be counted for no more than 6 nor less than 3 semester hours of credit. Under special circumstances, a student's advisory committee may recommend that a student request permission to apply as many as 10 semester hours of thesis credit toward fulfillment of degree requirements. If after completing the required credit hours the thesis is not yet finished, the student may maintain access to such University resources as faculty, library, computers, and parking space by no-credit registration in "Thesis in Progress" for each term until completion of the thesis or other creative effort. A nominal fee, as approved by the Chancellor, will be charged for every academic term of such registration.
Approved by Chancellor effective 10/7/91
This policy was issued on February 1, 1996, replacing the October 2, 1995 version.
