Revalidation of Coursework

Coursework that is beyond the eight-year time limit may be revalidated. The student must be in good standing to revalidate courses. To validate a course, a student must submit a petition in writing to the dean of The Murphy Graduate School to take a special written examination, which must be passed with a grade of B or better. The department chair and the student’s major advisor will be consulted for recommendation on the petition. No more than nine semester hours of credit may be revalidated in a program, and no course older than ten years may be revalidated. Appeals of the decision by the graduate dean may be made to the Graduate Council. Once the petition has been approved, the student must enroll in the courses to be revalidated and proceed to take the special written examination provided by the department. The grade must be submitted to the graduate dean to be forwarded to the Registrar with a written statement from The Murphy Graduate School.
