2:20-2:40Pledge to Students – Draft 2

  • Grad students do not have a PAWS report. They have approved Program Plans that are created with the program coordinator or advisor. This program plan is detailed to display what courses we are using from other institutions if any, how they have met their writing requirement, what pre-requisites are needed and the core and elective courses necessary for meeting the grad program degree requirements. Once approved, it is then forwarded to the Registrar’s Office for processing of their grad check. This is how we know what to hold them to.
  • Credential students are evaluated and coursework is determined by the Credentials Office from COE.
