Each student is required to submit scores from the Graduate

program. However, an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 in upper
division course may assist a student whose standardized test scores do not
meet the minimum criteria.
Each applicant will be evaluated in the context of an
overall academic record and/or accomplishments in an appropriate field.
The Graduate Council of Counselor Education makes final
decisions on all applicants. Appeals are brought to the Graduate Council of
Arts & Sciences.
Course Registration
Students who have been formally admitted to programs in the department
may register for classes during the course registration periods established by
the Registrar's Office.
To register, be sure to consult your advisor and the
Counselor Education Department's up-to-date list of courses offered through
the department, which is available prior to the University's regular

Education Department office.
Students are permitted to take six credits prior to being

Transfer of Credits
Transfer of course credit is not automatic. An individual
who holds the baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or
university may apply only six (6) semester hours of graduate courses toward
the graduate degree prior to admission to the program. A maximum of six
semester hours may be transferred from another accredited graduate school
provided these hours are approved by the department as part of the student’s
planned program. The student must fill out an appropriate form requesting
transfer credit. A student wishing to take work at another institution after
being admitted to a graduate program must first have the written approval of
the department chairperson. Afterwards, he or she must provide an official
transcript of the work completed for the department’s final approval of the
transfer of credit. Note: Transfer credits expire six years after their
completion. Transfer credits will be credited to the degree program only after
the student has been advanced to candidacy. No work gained by correspondence
courses is acceptable toward a graduate degree.
