7 CLASS LOAD Do not overload yourself. For most of you, this is your first experience with graduate work and it may be your first experience with online courses. Graduate work is more rigorous than undergrad work, requiring more research, reading, and writing and your work is held to a higher standard. You will require more study time. If you are working full time, you should enroll in no more than two courses each semester, Also, online classes are typically more demanding than face-to-face classes as they require more time to complete assignments. ACADEMIC PROGRESS Your master s program requires you to earn a grade of B or better in each core course and maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher. Students in a graduate certificate program may earn a grade of B- or better, as long as the overall GPA remains at 3.0 or higher. If you are struggling with any class, please first talk with your professor to resolve any issues. If you are not earning a grade of B or better in a course by the official withdrawal date (see Academic Calendar at calendar/ academic/, we recommend that you officially withdraw from the class. Any F grade may be grounds for dismissal from the program and, if not dismissed, you will be required to repeat the course for an acceptable grade. There is no grade forgiveness at the graduate level. DEGREE TIME LIMITS You have seven years to complete a master s degree. You have three years to complete a graduate certificate program. This time frame covers any semesters that you do not take courses, including summer semesters. ONLINE LEARNING For many of you, this will be your first time with online courses at UCF. Please review the tutorial at Click on the Learning Online link. TUITION WAIVERS Tuition waivers are accepted by the school. However, please be aware that the tuition waiver is used on a space-available basis only, and if your preferred course is full and closed at the time of your registration, the school will not provide an override.
8 GRADUATE CATALOG The UCF Graduate Catalog ( is UCF s official record of graduate policies. The catalog states, It is your responsibility [as the student] to keep informed of all rules, regulations, and procedures required for graduate studies. Graduate program regulations will not be waived or exceptions granted because students plead ignorance of the regulations or claim failure of the adviser to keep them informed. Take some time before the semester gets busy to review the graduate catalog and ask any questions, and refer back to it frequently! GRADUATE WRITING SKILLS The School of Public Administration uses the APA format. Instruction can be found at Click on STUDENT RESOURCES and then WRITING/APA STYLE.
