GENERAL REGULATIONS
ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY
Graduate degree students who seek the M.S. degree in Applied Psychology
must be admitted to candidacy. To be admitted to candidacy, a
student must complete the following steps:
1. Be fully admitted as a graduate degree student.
2. Have completed 23 graduate semester hours in an approved program
of studies.
3. Have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average on all graduate studies
(see exceptions under Repeating Courses and Time Limit).
4. Have an approved program on file with the student's adviser.
5. Have submitted an Application for Candidacy to the Department
of Psychology and Sociology. Applications are available in the
department.
All of these steps must be completed before a student can be recommended
for candidacy by the department and approved for candidacy by
the Graduate Advisory Committee.
COURSE REPETITION
Only a grade lower than B can be raised by repetition of the course;
a re-examination is not permitted. Any course that is repeated
must be retaken at Francis Marion University. A course may be
repeated only once. Psychology graduate students may repeat only
one course. That one course may be repeated only with written
approval from the department chairperson. Only the higher grade
of the repeated course will be counted in the calculation of the
grade point average.
