INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

Location — Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the state-owned university in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Higher Education System, is located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, a community of 26,000 about 55 miles northeast of Pittsburgh and 30 miles north of Johnstown. Situated in the Allegheny foothills, Indiana has a moderate climate conducive to study the year round and a wide variety of historical, cultural, and recreational facilities both immediately at hand and in neighboring population centers.

Library — The University Libraries provide excellent facilities for graduate work with librarians readily available for assisting with specialized reference work. The Library is an officially designated Federal Depository. The holdings in Rhodes R. Stabley Library include 421 ,000 volumes of books, 980,000 units of microfilm, 6,000 phonograph records, 8,500 filmstrips, and the government documents collection. Periodicals (49,000 bound volumes and 3,1 42 current titles) are housed in Sutton Hall and may be used in the Periodicals Reading Room, second floor of Sutton. Periodical indexes and periodicals in microform are located in Stabley.

Media resources and facilities for listening and viewing are available in the MRA, second floor of Stabley.

In addition to providing facilities and services for non-book materials within Stabley Library, the Media Resources Area has been expanded to include the former Instructional Resources Services.

These services consist of the development of instructional systems such as dial access, student response, and personal self-instructional materials. In addition, the services provide photographic, sound recording and reproduction, design and production of conventional instructional materials; procurement, inventory, and maintenance of University multi-media equipment; developing and maintaining a 16mm film library.

Although the media equipment and services are primarily located in the academic departments, the service center is housed in the lower floor of Davis Hall.

Graduate students and faculty doing research may apply for interlibrary loans to supplement the library's holdings.

The next library structure — Stapleton Library — is now being planned by architects, librarians, and other participants. This structure will be built in two

14 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

phases with a total of 200,000 sq. ft. merged with the existing Stabley Library. The first phase should be completed by 1980.

The Computer Center — The Computer Center, established in July, 1 963, provides computational support tor undergraduate and graduate courses, faculty and student research, and the administrative requirements ot the University. The computing capacity of the Center is provided by a large-scale disk oriented central processor which supports both time-sharing and batch processing services for the university community. Typewriter terminals, located both in the Computer Center and in various locations on campus, permit the use of the computer on a time-sharing basis. Keypunching facilities and a full complement of tabulating equipment are available in the Computer Center for student use. Remote job entry stations are located in the Computer Science and the Business Management departments, along with a large number of time-sharing terminals. Aid in the use of the computer and facilities may be obtained from user assistants on duty at the Computer Center, and from the Center's professional staff.

lUP's Computer Center plays an active part in the daily functioning of the University. It is the principal laboratory facility for computer-oriented courses and is used as a teaching aid in many classes involving statistical and numerical analyses and computer simulations. In addition, over 80 organizations outside the University make extensive use of lUP's computing facilities. The staff at the Center is actively involved in continuing work aimed at making computers a more effective and readily accessible tool for both the academic and administrative segments of the university community.

Testing Services — Testing programs at IUP are administered through the Academic Services and Testing Center. Among the national testing programs offered, the following are of particular interest to potential graduate students.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is administered on nationally- established dates five times each year. In the Saturday morning sessions the aptitude examinations are offered; the advanced examinations (specializa- tions) are offered in the afternoon sessions. Information and registration booklets are available from The Graduate School or from the Testing Center. Registration forms must be sent directly to ETS in Princeton, New Jersey.

The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is administered by the Testing Center on a frequent schedule — usually every two weeks on a weekday afternoon. To register, contact the Testing Center (357-3050).

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is administered on nationally-established dates. IUP is a regular center for some dates and can be a special center for other dates if 1 5 registrations are submitted to the Testing Center before the "special requests" deadline. Registrations for regular center dates, as listed in the GMAT booklet, are submitted directly to ETS. Information-registration booklets are available from the School of Business-MBA Coordinator or from the Testing Center.

The National Teacher Examination (NTE) is administered on three nationally-established dates. In the morning session the common examinations are offered; in the afternoon session the area examinations

16 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

(specializations) are offered. It is used generally by participating school systems for qualification and/or selection of instructional staff. Use of the NTE at IUP is limited to the area examination for guidance counselor, which is used in admission to the IUP doctoral program in counselor education.

Information on graduate and professional school exams other than those used for IUP Graduate School programs is available through the Testing Center. Law School Admission Test (LSAT) information is also available in the office of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) information is available through the Associate Dean, School of Health Services.

Arrangements can be made by advance contact for administration of tests adapted to visual, auditory, or physical handicaps.

The Testing Center is a service operation for the administration of tests and neither makes testing requirements nor offers interpretation of testing results. Commercial "How to Prepare for . . ." materials are available in the Co-op Store and other local bookstores. Questions concerning test requirements and desirable scores should be addressed to The Graduate School. Questions

The University — 17

concerning specific registration matters and the test agency information- registration materials may be directed to the Academic Services and Testing Center, 111 Clark Hall (357-3050).

The Graduate School — 19

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL AT IUP

GENERAL INFORMATION

Graduate work was inaugurated at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in September, 1957.

Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education, Doctor of Education, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are currently available. Non-degree programs leading to certification in various teaching fields are also available.

In all graduate programs the objectives are (1 ) to encourage excellence and scholarship, (2) to provide depth in the student's special field, and (3) to stimulate enthusiasm for continued cultural and professional growth on the part of the student.

The Graduate School staff is assisted in its daily functioning by a) the Graduate Council, a standing committee of the University Senate concerned with graduate program curricular and policy matters: b) the Graduate Student Assembly, an elected graduate student body representative of all campus academic departments offering graduate programs, and c) the chairpersons and graduate studies coordinators of departments offering graduate course work.

In addition to the degree and certification programs referred to above, lUP's Graduate School also maintains liaison with The Pennsylvania State University (School Administration program), Bloomsburg State College (Labor Relations program), and Shippensburg State College (Labor Relations program) facilitating student interinstitutional transfer.

20 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

ADMISSION

Admission to The Graduate School is required of all students who wish to take graduate courses for graduate credit. Each student applying for admission, either as an applicant for a graduate degree program or as an applicant for a non-degree program, must file with The Graduate School an application for admission and such other supporting documents as the school may specify. An Admissions Packet is supplied by the Graduate Office upon request. As a general rule application materials must be on file in the Graduate Office at least one month prior to the beginning of the semester or term in which the applicant plans to begin graduate work. Some exceptions to these deadlines exist; please refer to the Graduate Calendar on page 5 of this catalog for specific program dates.

Requirements for Admission

1 . An applicant must have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools or an equivalent regional accrediting agency.

2. The applicant's undergraduate transcript (or transcripts collectively) must show a minimum cumulative quality point average of 2.6 on a 4.0 maximum scale. Occasionally, additional evidence of academic ability is required.

3. Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores must be submitted prior to admission or during the student's first semester of course work by all students except MBA program applicants; the latter must submit General Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores. See pages 15-17 for further detail about these examinations.

4. Most applicants requesting admission to programs leading to an MEd degree are required to have a Provisional Pennsylvania Teachers Certificate or its equivalent; all MEd degree applicants should be sure to inquire at their program's sponsoring department. MEd applicants who do not already have such certification where required must complete a planned program leading to certification prior to applying for MEd degree candidacy at IUP.

Graduate School admission means that a student may program and register for graduate courses. Admission does not guarantee subsequent admission to candidacy for a degree, nor does it guarantee successful completion of requirements for a degree.

Admission Procedures

1. Each applicant must file with the Dean of The Graduate School a completed application form. Applications along with forms pertaining to items 2 and 3 below are included in the Admissions Packet.

2. The application must be accompanied by two copies of an official

The Graduate School — 21

transcript(s) from each graduate and undergraduate institution attended, including Indiana University of Pennsylvania if the applicant is an IUP alumnus/alumna.

Each applicant must submit statements of recommendation from three individuals who are familiar with his/her background. At least two of the individuals must be persons familiar with the applicant's academic background.

All applicants must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores except MBA degree applicants, who must submit Graduate Manage- ment Admission Test (GMAT) scores. Information about both is contained in the Admissions Packet.

An application fee in the amount of $10, non-refundable, must accompany the application. Please pay by check and make the check payable to: Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Admission Classifications

Applicants for admission to The Graduate School are notified of their admission status by The Graduate School Dean prior to the beginning of the term of planned study. Admission classifications are as follows:

1 . Pre-Candidacy Status. Given to an applicant who plans to work toward a graduate degree and whose application file with The Graduate School is both complete and satisfactory. The pre-candidacy student may program, under departmental guidance six to 1 2 graduate hours toward the degree being sought. Pre-Candidacy Status does not guarantee subsequent admission to candidacy.

2. Special Graduate Standing. Granted to applicants who indicate they do not plan to work toward a graduate degree but who wish to take graduate courses for which they are qualified. Applicants granted this standing who later wish to work toward a graduate degree must request reclassification by The Graduate School. Credits earned by a student having Special Graduate Standing may be applied to an IUP degree after the reclassified student has been awarded degree candidacy, provided the credits are deemed appropriate to the degree by the program's sponsoring department.

3. Temporary Graduate Standing. Given to qualified applicants for one semester only who plan to work toward a graduate degree but whose application file is incomplete at the time of classification. To continue graduate program work, the applicant so classified must have all required admission credentials complete and satisfactory before lUP's next published application deadline

4. Inactive Standing. Granted to admitted applicants who postpone or discontinue graduate work for at least one semester or term, whether or not such graduate work has been begun. Students may remain in this classification up to one year following their initially-declared intended date of first-course enrollment, or the date of their last active course

22 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

enrollment. Upon the termination of one year, the earlier Graduate School admission is voided and to resume graduate course work the student must reapply to The Graduate School.

Admission Denied. Applicants denied admission to The Graduate School will receive a letter from the Graduate Dean indicating the reason for the denial.

Graduate Record and Other Examinations

All graduate school applicants must take the APTITUDE section of the Graduate Record Examination. The following departments require that the Examination's ADVANCED section must also be taken for the degree or certification programs indicated:

Biology (MS and MEd)

PROGRAMMING AND REGISTRATION

Advisement

After a student has been admitted to The Graduate School, he/she should consult the department chairperson or coordinator of graduate studies in his/her intended field of study about program of courses If the student is unclassified, consultation should be with the Dean of The Graduate School. Advisement before course registration is required of all students enrolling for graduate classes for the first time. In addition, many departments feel strongly that their students should be advised well before arena registration each semester or summer term: these departments are identified in each semester's (or summer session's) Schedule of course offerings The student should carefully check such Schedules about advisement responsibilities, as well as course offerings, before registration.

Pre-registration

Prior to each semester or summer session, enrolled graduate students receive pre-registration materials and accompanying instructions from The Graduate School. Similar material is sent to prospective new students in response to their inquiries. The student should return all completed pre- registration forms to the Graduate Office by the deadline dates specified in The Graduate Calendar (see page 5).

Final Registration

After the student has returned the pre-registration materials to The Graduate School, he/she will receive notification from the Scheduling Office as to when and where to appear for course registration and. from the Business Office, a bill for tuition and fees. Bills must be paid before the student attends classes. Arrangements for housing and meals when necessary, parking. Identification-card receipt can be made at the registration location.

"Walk-in" registration is usually held during the final hours of graduate registration for students who have not pre-registered. Walk-in students may encounter lengthy delays in their registration processing and other inconveniences. It is unquestionably to the student's advantage to be processed with the majority pre-registration group.

GENERAL GRADUATE SCHOOL PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS

The graduate student is expected to assume full responsibility for knowing graduate program procedures and regulations. General Graduate School requirements are set forth in this catalog; a description of special departmental degree requirements is available at each department sponsoring the specific degree or certification program. Requests for exceptions to policy are given consideration when unique circumstances exist; questions concerning the proper routing of such requests should be addressed to the Graduate School dean. In addition to knowing policy and procedure, all admitted graduate students should also be familiar with the document "Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities" (see page 29), a copy of which can be obtained at the Graduate Office.

Program Changes

To insure their quality and relevance, graduate programs at Indiana University of Pennsylvania are subject to constant review and change by duly appointed and responsible University groups. Because of this, the University recognizes that provision must be made to prevent hardship to students already enrolled in programs if changes later occur in specific or general program requirements. Students affected by changes in programs, policies and regulations are therefore given the option of following those requirements in effect when the student was first admitted to the program or those in effect at the time of expected graduation. The student cannot of course combine chosen elements of the two. Should a question of rule interpretation arise with respect to changes, the student, the student's adviser, or both should petition The Graduate School Dean for a decision about which requirements apply.

Graduate Assistantships

Graduate assistantships are awarded at IUP to a limited number of full-time graduate students annually who have been admitted to graduate degree programs. There is no guarantee of renewal, although departmental recommendations for renewal are considered when such occur. Assistantships carry a stipend and atuition waiverforgraduate courses taken, but the assistantship is looked upon as an encouragement and/or reward for academic excellence rather than a means to relieve financial need.

Assistantships are of two types: teaching and research In both cases the duties performed (20 service hours per week in the typical appointment) are related to academic and/or professional experiences either in or closely related to the student's degree discipline, an experiential extension of his/her curriculum development. Duties are assigned through the Graduate Dean by the chairperson or graduate studies coordinator of the department of assignment.

The Graduate School — 29

Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities

Upon admission to The Graduate School, the student assumes responsibility for knowing program requirements and following established procedures in relation to academic advisement, course selection and registering, the payment of fees, the processing of withdrawals from class (if any), the meeting of residency requirements, applying for degree candidacy, and applying for and meeting all specific requirements for graduation. Conversely, he/she has the right to expect that all program requirements will be made clear, that all course requirements — including grading criteria and procedures — will be made known early in the course, and that course grades will represent the instructor's professional and objective evaluation of performance. He/she has the right to instruction which encourages the free and open discussion of ideas, and which respects reasonable student needs and aspirations. It is the student's responsibility to contribute to that classroom decorum and atmosphere which encourages maximum learning. Finally, the student understands that a departmental evaluation of academic progress and professional potential will be filed and that such an evaluation is available upon request.

The Graduate Student Assembly

Each IUP department offering a graduate program is required to establish a graduate studies committee and is urged, but not required, to form an association for its graduate students. On a University-wide basis, the Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) is the graduate students' organization. GSA is composed of an elected representative (and frequently an alternate) elected by the full-time and part-time graduate students of the department. GSA functions to serve all graduate students by having voting representation on the Graduate Council and in the University Senate; by having the right to review Council policies; by having the means to make recommendations about graduate student affairs to the Council and /or to the Graduate Dean; by working to improve the social, intellectual, and cultural life of the graduate student; and by participating inthejudicial procedure established for graduate students.

Any member of the University's academic community may initiate action involving the rights or responsibilities of graduate students. The Graduate Student Judiciary, composed of three officers of the Graduate Student Assembly and two elected Assembly members, has original jurisdiction in cases involving academic rights and responsibilities. A case heard by the Graduate Student Judiciary may be referred, if the body wishes, to an appropriate Departmental Graduate Judiciary; conversely, any of its decisions may be appealed to a Departmental Graduate Judiciary by any involved party. Departmental Graduate Judiciaries are composed of the department's coordinator of graduate studies, two members of its graduate teaching staff, and two elected by the department's graduate students. The University Graduate Judiciary, the process' third and final component, is an appellate body; this Judiciary is composed of five members of the Graduate Council, two of whom must be Council-elected graduate students. The decision of the University Graduate Judiciary is final and binding.

30 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

Academic Good Standing

IUP graduate students must maintain a minimum 3.0 (B) cumulative graduate quality point average to be in good standing academically. Students falling below good standing are placed on probation for their succeeding active semester or summer; probationary continuance beyond one semester or summer is permitted only upon receipt of special authorization to this effect from the Graduate Dean. A student must be in good standing to be admitted to degree candidacy and to graduate.

ACADEMIC CREDITS AND STUDENT STATUS

Although many graduate students depend upon part-time or full-time employment to meet expenses, the time demands for such employment must not be permitted to curtail academic achievement. IUP Graduate School facilities are offered only to students in a position to benefit from their graduate experience.

Students may regularly schedule a full-time academic load in most graduate programs. Full-time graduate student status is defined as nine to 1 5 graduate semester hours per semester, part-time status — eight or less semester hours per semester. Full-time graduate students should not hold full- time outside employment. Graduate assistants may not register for more than 1 3 total hours in any semester. No student may apply more than six hours in "tour" courses toward a graduate degree. Several departments also set maxima on the number of workshop and similar special offering hours applicable to their degree; students should obtain this information from the degree-sponsoring department.

RESIDENCY

Master's degree candidates may satisfy the residency requirement by taking all credits applicable to the IUP degree (except possibly six transfer credits — see "Credit Transfers", page 33) at IUP. Doctoral candidates have the following options: completion of a minimum of nine graduate credits at IUP in each of at least two consecutive semesters; completion of a minimum of nine graduate credits at IUP for at least one semester immediately preceding or following a summer of nine-hour study; completion at IUP of at least nine graduate credits in each of two consecutive summers plus six graduate credits during the intervening academic year; or completion of 12 graduate credits at IUP in each of two consecutive summers (this latter is recommended only in very special instances).

DEGREE CANDIDACY

Part-time graduate students must apply for degree candidacy through the Graduate Office immediately following completion of six graduate credit hours

The Graduate School — 31

taken at IUP. Full-time students must do the same at the mid-term of the semester or summer term during which they are taking their 1 2th IUP graduate hour. The appropriate form is available at the Graduate Office. Notification of candidacy award or denial, as recommended by the program's sponsoring department, will be received from the Graduate Dean. Receipt of degree candidacy is a most important requirement in the student's progress toward an IUP graduate degree.

Admission to Candidacy

To qualify for admission to candidacy, the student must complete the following steps:

1. Submit an official application for admission to candidacy to The Graduate School (form may be obtained at the Graduate Office).

2. Complete with satisfactory grades at least six semester hours (part-time students) or be in the process of completing 1 2 semester hours (full-time students — see first paragraph under Degree Candidacy) of graduate work taken at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

3. Have on file in the Graduate Office scores from the Graduate Record Examination, or, for MBA students, The General Management Admission Test.

4. Have satisfied the research course requirement (GR 615 Elements of Research, or equivalent).

5. Have on file in the Graduate Office a tentative program of studies for completion of the desired degree program.

Degree candidacy is awarded by The Graduate School only upon recommendation of the student's academic department. The student will be notified in writing of candidacy receipt by the Graduate Dean.

GRADING SYSTEM

The following grades are used in reporting the standing of students at the end of each semester or summer term:

A — Excellent I — Incomplete

B — Good R — Research in Progress

C — Fair W — Withdrawal

F — Failure

No "D" grade is recognized in IUP graduate work.

Quality points are assigned as follows: A — 4: B — 3: C — 2. No quality points are carried by the notations F, I, R, and W.

The notation "I" is used to record work which, as far as it has progressed, is of passing grade but is incomplete because of accident, illness, pregnancy, or extreme personal disturbance. An "I" must be made up by the student within 180 calendar days following its issuance. If it is not, it is automatically converted to an "F". The "R" notation pertains only to thesis and dissertation research credits when such research is in progress as a semester or summer

32 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

term ends, or in certain practicum-type courses approved for this notation by the Graduate Dean. All "R's" are replaced by the research grade eventually assigned when the research is completed. The "W" notation applies to certain withdrawals from courses; please see page 35 for discussions of withdrawals from the University and discrete course withdrawals. Note that an "F" is entered in the student's permanent academic record if a withdrawal of either type has not been processed in accordance with established procedures.

Course Auditing

Auditing is not permitted in a graduate course unless the student has been admitted to The Graduate School, has received permission to audit from the course's instructor, and has been approved for course enrollment by the dean of The Graduate School. Auditors must pay normal tuition and related fees. An auditor will, with permission from the instructor, participate in class discussion, do practicum work, take examinations, and share generally in the privileges of a class member. If the student completes all course requirements — but only if so — an "Audit" notation is posted to the students academic record, but no academic credit is earned for the course. A graduate assistant or scholarship recipient who is required as such to carry a certain number of credits may not count among those credits the credits of an audited course.

Class Cancellation

It is the policy of The Graduate School not to cancel regularly scheduled classes because of weather conditions, nor does it make announcements via radio, newspaper, or through its switchboard that classes are being suspended because of such conditions. In cases of emergencies disrupting transportaion facilities or otherwise creating hazardous travel conditions, students should make those decisions as to attendance which appear appropriate to them in their particular circumstances.

Graduate Course Numbering

All dual-level courses, re courses open to enrollment by both graduate and qualified undergraduate students, carry a 500-599 course number; all courses open only to graduate students carry 600-series and above numbers.

The Graduate School — 33

Credit Transfers

Credit for graduate courses taken at another institution may under certain circumstances be incorporated as part of the graduate student's program at IUP. The courses must have been completed on the main campus of an accredited institution, or acceptable in its degree programs by that main campus. The grade earned must be a "B" or its equivalent or better. The time limitation rule cited on page 36 of this catalog relative to credit applicability to IUP graduate degrees generally pertains without modification to transfer credit applicability

A maximum of six credits of transfer work is accepted. Transfer credits are not necessarily posted to the student's IUP graduate record until the student has been admitted to degree candidacy. Acceptance of transfer credit must be approved by the candidate's department and the Graduate Dean. Students, wishing to transfer back to IUP credits taken at another institution while enrolled in an IUP graduate program, must receive advance written authorization for credit acceptance from the Graduate Dean.

34 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

Graduate Course Repeat Policy

Under University policy no graduate credit is recognized for courses completed with grades of "F," and graduate grading policy does not permit an award of "D." A student receiving a "C" or "F" grade may request through his/her adviser or coordinator of graduate studies approval to repeat the course to a maximum of two repeats. Each such repeat must receive final approval from the dean of The Graduate School

Semester hours for repeated courses shall be counted only once for all attempts made and, should there be a difference in hours because of a course hours change, the hours and quality points earned when last taken shall be those used for quality point average computation.

Credits earned in only one repeated course may be applied to an IUP graduate degree.

Independent Study Maximum

Only six credits of Independent Study work may apply toward a student's master's degree unless written authorization for hours in excess of six is obtained from the student's adviser or coordinator of graduate studies and The Graduate School dean, in that order.

Graduate Internship Policy

To qualify for a graduate internship appointment the graduate student must have a minimum of 1 2 IUP graduate credits earned and a minimum 3.0 GPA: must have been in full-time enrollment (nine graduate credits or more) during the semester or summer session (the latter taken as a whole) immediately preceding the academic period for which internship is requested:* and must meet departmental internship criteria. No more than six internship credits may apply to a graduate degree unless written approval of the students departmental chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and the dean of The Graduate School (in that order) is obtained. Continuation in an internship experience by a given graduate student is contingent upon the students maintenance of satisfactory performance in all aspects of his/her degree program. Program exceptions to the foregoing policy can be made only with the approval of the Graduate Council.

Final Credits Policy

All master's degree candidates must complete their program's final six credits of graduate work in courses offered by IUP. Under certain circumstances appropriate substitutions may be authorized. Students wishing such authorization must petition the Graduate Dean after obtaining the approval of their adviser and department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator.

*For graduate students active during summers only, or during fall-spring semesters only, "immediately preceding the academic period'' etc. refers to the student's last preceding active semester or summer session.

The Graduate School — 35

Discrete Course Withdrawal

During fall and spring semesters, graduate students may request authorization to withdraw from a graduate course without prejudice and with the grade of "W" by petitioning the Graduate Dean in writing within the first six weeks of the semester as determined by the published University calendar. The request must carry the endorsement of both the course instructor and the student's department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator, in that order. Graduate students wishing to withdraw from an undergraduate course within the prescribed six weeks must do so by processing the standard undergraduate Discrete Course Withdrawal form.

For summer term classes and labs, the following is substituted for the six weeks period in the preceding paragraph: for Pre and Post Sessions, within the first six class days; for Mam Session, within the first 12 class days.

Following the close of the established six weeks (or sixth day or 1 2th day) withdrawal period, a graduate student may withdraw from a course, either graduate or undergraduate, without penalty only with the written approval of his/her department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and the Graduate Dean (in that order) for such reasons as accident, severe illness, or extreme personal disturbance. A student dropping a course under any other circumstance will automatically receive an "F" at the end of the semester or summer term.

No refunds are made for reduced class loads resulting from discrete course withdrawals of any type or at any time after classes have started.

Withdrawals from the University

Graduate students withdrawing from the University for any reason must process such withdrawals in writing through the Graduate Office. The official withdrawal date to be recognized will be established by the Graduate Dean.

Please refer to page 9 of this Catalog for a detailed description of the University's Refund Policy and related matters

A graduate student who does not pre-registerfor the succeeding semester or summer term, or having pre-registered, does not appear for registration at the beginning of that semester or term is classified "Inactive." Please see page 21 of this Catalog re later resumption of graduate work.

Official notification of course withdrawal will be sent by the Graduate Dean to the student's course instructor(s) and chairperson/graduate studies coordinator.

No person shall be considered withdrawn from the University unless the withdrawal process described herein has been employed.

Graduate Course Scheduling by Certain Undergraduates

IUP undergraduate students with an academic grade point average of at least 2 6 who are within 32 semester hours of graduation are permitted, after appropriate approvals, to take up to six semester hours of graduate work

whether or not they have applied for acceptance into an IUP graduate program. Graduate hours so earned have no necessary hearing upon the meeting of undergraduate degree requirements, and no assurance is given or implied as to the hours' later applicability to a graduate degree should the students be admitted to an IUP graduate program.

Time Limitations

Program credits earned at IUP or accepted by transfer are applicable to IUP master's degrees over a period not to exceed five years from the date of their earning unless the period is extended through student petition approved by the program's chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and the graduate dean. Doctoral candidates must complete degree requirements no later than seven years after beginning IUP doctoral program course work unless an extension similarly is authorized.

Graduation

Early in the student's final semester or summer session, he/she must file an application for graduation with the Graduate Office on a form furnished by that office Graduation applications must be filed by the deadlines shown on the Graduate Calendar.

When all requirements for the degree have been completed and this fact is attested to by the student's department, the student's academic record will be so posted and the degree will be awarded at the following established diploma-award date. An official diploma is presented to the student at that time.

The Thesis/No Thesis Option, Master's Programs

Several IUP master's degree programs offer the graduate student a thesis/no-thesis option.

When the no-thesis option is chosen, additional approved course work — usually six or more credit hours — is required.

The basic committee thesis arrangement (4-6 s.h.) has the student working with a committee of four faculty members including the student's adviser, the Associate Dean for Research, and two faculty members, one of whom may or may not be a member of the program's department. The committee may include an off-campus person with special expertise as part of the four if requested by the department and approved by the Graduate Dean.

In some programs a non-committee thesis (1 -3 s.h.) is permitted. When this option is exercised the student works solely with his/her adviser.

CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS

Students admitted to The Graduate School who wish to work toward certification in a specific field(s) should check the descriptions of certification programs found in this catalog for requirements related to their program(s) of interest. If a given certification program requires completion of a master's degree, the master's degree procedures and regulations set forth in this catalog apply. The Graduate School does not, however, certify students; certification is processed by the Dean of the School of Education.

Regulations for Principal's Certificates in Pennsylvania

Regulations for a provisional elementary or secondary principal's certifi- cate are substantially as follow. The applicant shall: 1) hold a Pennsylvania College Certificate: 2) have three years of successful teaching experience; 3) complete 45 semester hours of graduate study, including a master's degree with the following minimum requirements: a) 12 semester hours in an academic field other than psychology; b) 15 semester hours distributed among administrative processes, curriculum and instructional processes, and the history and role of the school in society; and c) documentary evidence of proficiency in English. The College Certificate and experience must be at the level (elementary or secondary) for which administrative certification is requested.

IUP — Penn State Cooperative School Administration Program

A cooperative school administration program with The Pennsylvania State University is available at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Details of the program are available at lUP's Graduate Office or through the assistant dean of admissions of The Graduate School at Penn State at University Park, Pennsylvania. The Program's certificate based on 45 semester hours is valid for service as a principal for five years.

Graduate Study Beyond the Master's Degree

It is not unusual to find graduate students enrolling in more courses than they need to meet the requirements of a master's degree. Such action can be beneficial beyond the personal satisfactions which accrue, because the added studies may be well received by employers whether in business, government, or the school system in such matters as certification. However, students should understand that most graduate schools have residency requirements at the doctoral as well as master's level and frequently will accept no more than 30 graduate semester hours (or master's equivalent) earned elsewhere as applicable to a doctorate

The Graduate School — 47

II. Certification as an Instructional Media Specialist

The specialist certificate in Instructional Media may be awarded to students who hold at least a Pennsylvania Level I or equivalent certificate valid for elementary or secondary education and who complete 24 semester hours of graduate work in the curriculum of Communications Media and related subjects. With the approval of an adviser, each student will select a balance of courses from each of the two course concentration blocks described earlier; however, CM 503, 630, 660, and 669 must be included in the courses selected. Application for the Certificate is made through the Communications Media Department to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction.

By careful structuring of their program it is possible for students to obtain both the MEd degree and the Instructional Media Specialist Certification concurrently. Usually this will require slightly more than the 30 semester hours of minimum credits required for the MEd but students often find it to their advantage to fulfill the requirements for both programs.

Graduate school admission does not automatically ensure acceptance into the certificate program. Successful applicants will present evidence of (1 ) the intellectual ability to do acceptable graduate work, (2) satisfactory scores on either the GRE or the Miller's Analogy Test, and (3) the requisite personal qualifications of character, health, and professional background. The departmental graduate faculty will make the necessary deter- minations.

The graduate student may elect one of several specialized fields for study, including curricula in general elementary education, early childhood education, and reading. If courses are carefully selected in the general elementary education curriculum, a concentration in areas such as language arts, social studies, mathematics or science can be achieved. Graduate students may exercise much freedom in designing their programs.

At the master of education level, the student is assigned to an adviser after admission to The Graduate School. At this time, the student and adviser outline a tentative graduate program. (Note that GR 615 Elements of Research, should be taken during the first 12 hours of graduate work.)

Acceptance into The Graduate School only permits a student to take course work in a department. If a student wishes to become a degree candidate, the Application to Candidacy form must be completed and forwarded to The Graduate School after successful completion of six hours of course work in the department
