As a new graduate student seeking a master’s
degree, you should read and adhere to the following recommendations:
- Pick up a graduate catalog, or go to
http://www.uncfsu.edu and click on Graduate Studies. Go to
Graduate Catalog.
- You must fill out a graduate application in
the Office of Admissions.
- You should go to the department in which
you are pursuing a degree or licensure. There, you should be
advised and you will need to complete the blue card for
registration.
- You should proceed to the registration area
to pay your fees. If you are a continuing student, you may
pre-register for courses, however, you must still be advised
and fill out a blue card for registration. See the University
Calendar for dates for pre-registration.
- You must be admitted to a degree program
before you take more than twelve (12) graduate hours. MBA
students may take no more than six (6) hours at the 600 level.
- You should be admitted to candidacy after
you have accumulated twelve (12) graduate hours. The
“Admission to Candidacy for a Graduate Degree” form is
available on the website and in the Office of Graduate
Studies.
- If you are required to take a comprehensive
examination, you should apply for the comprehensive
examination when you are in the last hours of your program.
MBA students and some students in the School of Education are
not required to take a comprehensive examination. See your
advisor or call Graduate Studies if you have a question.
- You should apply for graduation in
September (of the previous year) if you will complete the
degree in May. You should file in May if you will complete the
degree in December. “Applications for Graduation” forms are
available in the Registrar’s Office. A fee of $50.00 is
required.
- If you withdraw from a class, you must fill
out a withdrawal form. Please note that if you do not, you
will receive an “F” grade, and you will be withdrawn from
Graduate Studies.
- Keep copies of everything that you do at
Fayetteville State University. Withdrawals, applications, and
letters of acceptance should all be kept in your personal
file.
This is the a summary of the procedures and policy that you
should know. For additional information, please go to our
website (http://www.uncfsu.edu) and click on Graduate Studies,
call your department chairperson, or contact Graduate Studies
at (910)-672-1371.
Licensure only students should note that
students pursuing a license are graduate students and that the
“3 C” rule and the “F” policy also apply to licensure
students. 100, 200, 300, and 400 level courses are treated the
same as 500 or 600 level courses. You must not receive three
“C’s” or an “F”. If you do, you will be withdrawn from
Graduate Studies.
