General Requirements
nine (9) weeks of the next semester or the grade will automatically become an E. An E can be made up only by repetition of the course. The only exception to this rule is for extreme hardship as determined by the Committee on Academic Qualifications. A student may only be allowed a combination of two E's and/or two C's; a third C and/or E brings automatic elimination from the program. No grade other than an I may be altered once it has been reported to the Registrar unless an error was made in grading or recording. These changes can only be made upon written approval of the instructor, the Registrar, and the Committee on Admissions and Academic Qualifications. Dropping of Courses Courses may be dropped without assignment of a grade during the first four weeks of the semester. A grade of WP or WE will be recorded for classes dropped after this time until the last day that classes meet. Student Loads The normal full-time load for a graduate student is 12 to 15 hours per semester. No student will be allowed to carry over 15 units in any semester and no full-time student may carry less than 9 units until he has been ad mitted to candidacy. Students engaged in outside work must adjust their academic loads in consultation with their faculty advisor. Transfer Credit Doctoral candidates may transfer up to 30 semester hours of psychology and up to 15 hours of theology graduate study from an accredited school. No courses may be transferred if the grade is below a B. A total of 9 hours of psy chology and 9 hours of Bible or theology may be applied to the M.A. degree. Some practicum experience can be transferred with the permission of the Coordinator of Professional Training. Credit by Examination No graduate credit will be given by examination. Students who possess an excellent background in an area of study may petition the Committee on Ad missions and Academic Qualifications for waiver of a required course on the basis of examination . No credit is given on this basis, however. Time Limit for Degrees All course and academic requirements must be completed within eight years of the beginning of the student's graduate study at Rosemead.
