POS Documentation

Students must obtain approvals for the following POS matters before or as part of completing this DPS and the online POSC form.

Language Requirement Form. This form must be completed indicating how the language requirement is to be met or will be met. The form must be signed by the student’s program adviser/major professor and submitted to the Graduate Program Staff Assistant for approval by the Director of Graduate Education. This form is sent to the Registrar’s Office in order to receive acknowledgement on the student’s official academic record that a language requirement was met.

Transfer Credit Petition. Transfer credits to appear on the POS must be approved by completing a Transfer Credit Petition, obtaining approval signature from your program adviser/major professor, and submitting it to the Graduate Program Staff Assistant for approval by the Director of Graduate Education.

Program of Study (POS) Waiver/Equivalency Petition. POS waivers/equivalencies occur when a student’s prior experience allows the student to take a more advanced course as an equivalent to a required course. Documentation for POS waivers/equivalencies should be approved before taking the course and must include the petition prepared by the student that provides a clear rationale, approved by the Program Adviser/Major Professor, and submitted to the Graduate Program Staff Assistant for approval by the Director of Graduate Education.

Approval for use of English 590s on POS. Students who plan to use English 590s in their POS coursework must have prior approval of those courses. Approval of an English 590 does not in itself constitute approval to use that course on the POS. Approvals for counting English 590s on the POS must be obtained by checking the appropriate box on the Request for English 590 form or by submitting a Waiver/Equivalency Petition if the 590 has already been approved. Approval of an English 590 is not assured. English 590s cannot duplicate the content of existing courses.

Over-age Course Petition. Over-age courses (those that exceed the Graduate College seven-year limit) must be justified with an Over-age Course Petition prepared by the student. The petition must be signed/approved by the Major Professor and submitted to the Graduate Program Staff Assistant for approval by the Director of Graduate Education before it can be uploaded as an attachment in the online POSC Form for final approval buy the Graduate College. Arguments for over-age courses involve showing that the course content has been “updated” either through additional coursework or recent practice (work experience, papers presented, etc.).
