Reservation of Courses
for Graduate Credit
Students previously dismissed from or denied admission to
the Graduate School may not enroll in graduate courses or reserve
courses for graduate credit.
An undergraduate student may not use graduate
courses (numbered 5000 and above) to fulfill undergraduate
degree requirements. However, an undergraduate at The University of
Texas at Arlington who needs no more than 12 hours in one semester
(six semester hours in one summer session) to complete all
the requirements for a bachelor's degree may register for graduate
courses for graduate credit if the following conditions are met:
-
All work for undergraduate credit must be completed
during that semester or summer session.
-
Total registration for all work may not exceed 15 semester
hours in a semester (or 12 semester hours in the summer sessions).
-
The student must submit to the Graduate Advisor a
"Reservation of Courses for Graduate Credit by Undergraduate Students"
form (available from Graduate Advisors). The reservation
must be approved by the Graduate Advisor and the Dean of
Graduate Studies, and the Registrar must certify that the reserved
credit will not be applied to the student's undergraduate
degree requirements. This form must be submitted in accordance
with the deadlines printed in the Graduate School calendars in
this catalog.
-
The student must have at least a 3.0 undergraduate GPA to
be eligible to enroll in a graduate course and to reserve it
for graduate degree credit.
-
Only courses in which the student earns grades of A or B
may be applied to a master's degree, but all courses reserved
for graduate credit will be calculated in the graduate
grade-point average.
-
Credit is officially accepted for application to a graduate
program only upon achievement of unconditional admission to
Graduate School.

Enrollment in Graduate Courses
by an Undergraduate Student Holding a Bachelor's Degree
Students previously dismissed from or denied admission to
the Graduate School may not enroll in graduate courses.
A student who is enrolled as an undergraduate but who holds
a bachelor's degree may, with the approval of the Graduate
Advisor, enroll in graduate courses (courses numbered at the 5000 level
or above).
Upon unconditional admission to the Graduate School,
a maximum of 12 semester hours of graduate level courses,
excluding deficiency courses, may be applied to a master's degree program
under the following conditions:
-
All courses so applied must have been completed no more
than five years before enrollment in a graduate program at
The University of Texas at Arlington.
-
Only courses in which the student earned grades of A and
B may be so applied.

-
If the student has completed more than 12 semester hours
of graduate courses in undergraduate status, all graduate
courses completed no more than five years before enrollment in
a graduate program at The University of Texas at Arlington
will become part of the graduate record and will be considered
in computing the student's grade-point average.
-
The 12 semester hours that may be applied for credit toward
a master's degree must be approved by the Graduate Advisor,
the Committee on Graduate Studies, and the Dean of
Graduate Studies. Approval is obtained by submitting a complete
Tentative Program of Work that includes the courses taken
in undergraduate status and all other courses to be used for
credit toward the degree.
-
A student may elect not to apply any courses taken in
degreed undergraduate status to a master's degree. In this case,
no graduate courses taken in undergraduate status are applied
to the student's graduate record. Selective application of courses
is not permitted. If any courses are applied for credit toward
a master's degree, all courses completed within the last five
years will become part of the graduate record.
|
Courses taken in undergraduate status may not be applied
directly to a doctoral program.
The student should consult with the appropriate Graduate
Advisor before registering for graduate courses.
Some departments and colleges (i.e., the College of
Business Administration) do not permit students to enroll in graduate
courses unless they have been admitted to Graduate School.
Course and Transfer Credit
Maximum Undergraduate Credit
No more than nine hours of advanced baccalaureate course
work may be used for graduate degree credit. Such work may be applied
to a graduate degree program only with approval of the
appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies and the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Applicability of Courses to More Than One Degree
No course that has been applied to any one degree, graduate
or undergraduate, may be applied to any other degree, either
directly or by substitution.
Transfer Credit
No more than nine hours of equivalent course work completed
at other institutions of recognized standing may be transferred to
a master's degree program, and then only after evaluation and
approval by the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies and the Dean
of Graduate Studies. Transfer credit will be accepted only for
organized courses in which the student received a grade of B or higher;
however, transfer course grades are not included in calculating a student's U.T. Arlington graduate grade-point average. Courses completed prior
to a student's admission into a U.T. Arlington master's degree
program will be reviewed in terms of applicability to that program by
the Committee on Graduate Studies and the Dean of Graduate
Studies at the time the student submits a program of work.
Courses from other universities taken after a student has
been admitted into a master's program at U.T. Arlington must be
approved in advance by the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies and
