Policies

CHPR students must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade point average overall in courses applicable to the degree.

CHPR does not accept transfer, test, or residency credits from other institutions.

Students must obtain permission from the CHPR Program Office if they wish to enroll in more than 18 units (i.e. in 19 or more units) in a given quarter.

• After accepting admission to this coterminal master’s degree program, students may request the transfer of courses from the undergraduate to the graduate career to satisfy the requirements for the master’s degree. Transferring courses to the graduate career requires review and approval of both the undergraduate and graduate programs on a case-by-case basis.

• Only courses with CHPR subject code, pre-approved non-CHPR electives, and pre-approved biostatistics and methods courses are eligible for transfer to your graduate career.

• While Coterms may petition for elective approval of courses not on these lists for their MS degree, petitions for courses previously taken as an undergraduate will be denied.

• All courses must have been taken for a letter grade if that was an option.

• Coterminal master’s degree candidates must complete all university master’s degree requirements described in this Bulletin.

• In this master’s program, courses taken three quarters before the first graduate quarter or later are eligible for consideration for transfer to the graduate career. No courses taken before the first quarter of the sophomore year may be used to meet master’s degree requirements.

• Course transfers are not possible after the bachelor’s degree has been conferred.

• The university requires that the graduate advisor be assigned in the student’s first graduate quarter even though the undergraduate career may still be open. The university also requires that the Master’s Degree Program Proposal be completed by the student and approved by the department by the end of the student’s first graduate quarter.
