All courses leading to the master's degree must be taken at the University of Kansas, except that up six hours of graduate credit may be transferred and applied to a program leading to the master's degree, subject to approval by the Program Chair. Eight hours may be approved for transfer if the student holds a baccalaureate degree from the University of Kansas. Transfer credit is only given for courses in which the final grade was A or B.
The grading system in the Graduate School is an A, B, C, D, F system, where A designates above-average graduate work; B, average graduate work; C, passing but below average graduate work; D and F, failing graduate work. The suffixes + and - are used and counted in grade point averages. Upon falling below a cumulative graduate grade-point average of B (3.0), the student may be placed on probation or dismissed from the Program. At the end of the next semester of enrollment, the student's overall graduate average must be raised to a B (in which case the student is returned to regular status) or a departmental recommendation will be required for the student to continue in graduate study.
To complete requirements for the master's degree, a student must present a record of 48 credit hours with a grade point average of at least 3.0. All required Planning courses must be included in this calculation.
