Welcome to the College Catalog
Many components of the graduate program at Elizabethtown College are facilitated the same way as the undergraduate program. Course registration, graduation clearance and credit transfer are processed by the Office of Registration and Records in the same manner as they are for the under-graduate program.
The following policies apply only to graduate students: 1) The minimum number of credits required to be full-time is nine. Students may not take more than 16 credits without following the Petition for Overload procedure and being assessed and charged per overload credit; 2) All but three courses must be taken on-campus; 3) The maximum number of courses allowed for transfer is three; 4) Pass/No Pass does not apply unless the course is offered Pass/No Pass; 5) Latin honors and the Dean’s List do not apply; and 6) Only courses graded F may be repeated.
The minimum overall grade point average needed to stay in the program is 3.00. Not meeting the minimum overall grade point average may result in suspension from the College. To be readmitted, the student must petition the Academic Standing Committee.
It is up to the discretion of the student’s major Department to determine if undergraduate and graduate courses may be taken concurrently. Graduate courses may count toward undergraduate programs; however, undergraduate courses may not count toward graduate programs. Undergraduate program courses taken by graduate students to complete credit deficiencies are free elective credits only and do not fulfill any major requirements. Graduate courses may not be met via Challenge Tests.
