Graduation Requirements
All requirements for completion of a graduate degree program, including any courses accepted by transfer, must be completed within a period of five calendar years. Students must obtain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in order to complete any graduate degree program.
Application to Gradaute:
All students are required to complete an Ferrum College Graduation Application form at least one full semester prior to graduation. This policy is intended to ensure that the student will complete requirements yet to be fulfilled. Degree candidates are eligible to participate in the May commencement exercises of the academic year in which they complete their degree requirements. The student is ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance with all degree requirements.
To graduate, a graduate student must:
- Complete the Ferrum College Graduation Application form from the Office of the Registrar the semester prior to graduation.
- Successfully complete program required credit semester hours, maintaining a grade point average of at least 3.0 for hours earned at Ferrum College.
- Complete the last semester of academic work at Ferrum College.
- Clear all financial obligations to the College.
To participate in graduation, a student may not fall short of the required minimum of required program credit hours by more than one course or defense of a thesis. Also, students must have attained at least a 3.0 cumulative and major grade point average. Students lacking a course or thesis defense must submit proof of summer registration to the Office of the Registrar to complete the work before the beginning of the next fall term. All degree candidates are encouraged to participate in graduation exercises.
