Regularly admitted students are students who the admissions committee determines have the preparation to successfully complete the program. Students who do not meet the above admission criteria may be considered for conditional admission after a personal interview with the program director. Conditionally admitted students may enroll in a maximum of four courses (12 credits). Upon completion of the four courses and fulfillment of any specified conditions, the student’s record and admissions criteria will be reviewed to determine the student’s potential for successfully completing the program. If the evaluation of all relevant admission criteria is positive, the student’s admission status will be changed to reflect a regular admission. GRADUATE NON-DEGREE STUDENTS Individuals with a Pennsylvania Level I Instructional Certificate may take up to 24 credits without enrolling in a degree program. These credits will apply toward a Level II Instructional Certificate and will be eligible for Act 48 credit. Individuals who already have their Level II Instructional Certificate may enroll in courses, up to 24 credits, without enrolling in a degree program to fulfill Act 48 requirements for continued certification. FINANCIAL AID Financial aid information may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office. Student loans are available to students enrolled for a minimum of six semester hours. For the purposes of graduate education programs, a full-time student is considered to be anyone enrolled in a minimum of nine semester hours. PREREQUISITES For all graduate education programs a student will need to have access to an Internet connection: high speed access is preferred. Students need basic computer skills including e-mail, word processing, and Internet usage to succeed in these programs.
Application Forms TRANSFER CREDITS Except in unusual circumstances, Waynesburg University will accept a maximum of 9 credits in transfer from another accredited institution for the 36 credit programs and 6 credits for the 30 credit programs. Transfer credits will be given only for those courses that were completed with a B- or higher and that are certified as being applicable toward a comparable degree at the regionally accredited institution that offered the courses. The Director of Graduate Programs in Education will evaluate the transfer credits accepted by the University Registrar and determine for which classes these will substitute in the Waynesburg Graduate Education Program. |
