ACADEMIC LOAD Full-time and part-time registration guidelines can be found at https:// www.uwsp.edu/regrec/Pages/WebHelp/studyLoad.aspx. Nine hours of graduate credit for the semester, six hours in the summer, and three hours in Winterim is the standard full-time load. Part time is typically six hours in the summer, and three hours in Fall, Winterim, and/or Spring. International students enrolled in less than these numbers of credit hours should contact the Office of International Students and Scholars. Students may take courses full-time, or part-time. Financial Aid is available. TRANSFER CREDIT AND RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS Transfer credit must: be applicable to the UWSP degree program; have a grade of B or higher (grades of “pass,” “satisfactory,” or “credit” cannot be transferred unless noted on the transcript key as equivalent to a B or better grade); not be out-of-date per the degree time limitation (see below); be recommended by the music department graduate advisor and approved by the registrar; and be documented as graduate credit on an official graduate transcript from an accredited institution. Regardless of transfer credit, at least 20 graduate hours beginning the semester of acceptance and enrollment into the program must be earned at UWSP to satisfy the residency requirement. Minimum degree hours must still be met for graduation. TIME TO DEGREE UWSP graduate students must complete master’s degree requirements within seven years of first enrollment in the master’s degree program. Regardless of time limitations above, no student will be allowed to graduate using any coursework older than 10 years, whether it be taken at UWSP or at another institution. APPLYING FOR GRADUATION You must apply for graduation within the first two weeks of the semester in which you will complete all classes required for the degree. You apply for graduation at the Records and Registration Office, 101 SSC.
