2007-08 Academic Year - Humboldt State University

their first admission to the program. The
seven-year time limit will continue to apply to
all course work on the approved graduate
course list.
If the department allows master’s students
to enroll in Extended Education for continuous
enrollment, they may register for one unit of
a discipline-specific 693 course through the
Office of Extended Education. Enrollment in
the discipline-specific 693 course allows a
graduate student to maintain continuous
enrollment and to maintain their status in
the master’s degree program.
Extended Education enrollment allows a
graduate student to make use of the same
campus resources accorded to Extended
Education students. EE students are eligible
for library privileges, bus passes with ID and
current sticker, email, on campus computer
use, and any Moodle, Google, etc. activities
needed for classes. Health Center and
Career Center benefits are not available.
To maintain continuous enrollment, students
will register using the EE registration form
and the completed/signed Graduate Student
Continuous Enrollment Authorization for
Extended Education form. The form is basically
a permission form/authorization from
the student’s major professor/committee
chair and program graduate coordinator
allowing the student to enroll through EE for
continuous enrollment.
In order for students to enroll in courses other
than, or in addition to the discipline-specific
693 course (e.g., a PE course) through
EE, the student must have completed all of
the course work required for their degree,
advanced to candidacy, and filed for graduation.
Students will not be allowed to enroll
through Extended Education in any courses,
other than 693, unless these requirements
have been met. Students will use a Petition
of the Student if enrolling through Extended
Education for courses other than 693.
This policy applies to all master’s degree
students admitted for the fall 2002 semester
and subsequent semesters, including
those who have completed all their required
courses. This policy does not apply to credential
candidates and post-baccalaureate
unclassified students.
Academic Probation &
Disqualification
Graduate students who are classified or
conditionally classified will be placed on
academic probation if their Humboldt gradepoint
average falls below a 3.0 (B grade
average). While on academic probation,
if a graduate student’s cumulative GPA at
Humboldt is below 3.0 for a second consecutive
term, the student will be academically
disqualified.
Graduate students may be placed on probation
and/or disqualified for failure to make
adequate progress in the program, as
defined by the requirements and policies of
individual programs, by recommendation of
the program faculty and graduate coordinator,
and action of the graduate dean.
Unclassified post-baccalaureate students
are governed by the academic probation
and disqualification regulations for senior
undergraduate students.
Readmission. Disqualified graduate students
may not register without formal readmission
to the university. They will be considered for
readmission through the normal application
process. After readmission, students must
maintain the GPA described for reinstatement
below.
Reinstatement. If there are extenuating
circumstances, such as extended medical
complications, disqualified students may
apply for reinstatement. Their application for
reinstatement will be reviewed by the faculty
of the program, the graduate coordinator,
and the graduate dean.
Reinstated students must improve the GPA
to acceptable levels to return to good standing.
If the first term after reinstatement
(and subsequent) GPA is 3.0 or better, but
the overall cumulative GPA is still below 3.0,
the student retains a status of “reinstated.”
If the GPA for the first term after reinstatement
is below 3.0, the student is disqualified.
Good standing is achieved when the term
and cumulative GPA are both improved to
3.0 or better. Students must achieve “good
standing” to be eligible to graduate.
