ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE PROGRAM, THE FOLLOWING FORMS
WILL BE NECESSARY:
FORM C:
This form needs to be submitted to Graduate Studies during the first
semester of students’ course work (once admitted to a program) in
order to prevent students from receiving a Form C hold on their
account. Please make sure both the advisor and student sign this
form. Please make sure that the department name and course
number are included (i.e., ADED 510) and that the number of credit
hours is filled in on the form. Send your advisor your signed and
dated form.
FORM
D: This form should be
submitted to Graduate Studies once you have completed any
deficiencies on Form C, completed the research tool successfully
with a grade of A or B, maintained a minimum GPA of 3.0, and have
completed 15-18 hours of graduate courses successfully. A student
will receive a copy of this form mailed to them or it can be
accessed online at
http://www.wku.edu/graduate/D.pdf
FORM E:
This form is the comprehensive exam report, either written/oral or
thesis defense, the advisor provides to Graduate Studies. All comps
must be completed by the last day of the semester for the student to
be eligible to graduate in the current semester. For the Fall
semester comps and thesis defense must be completed by mid-December.
If a department offers a capstone course in place of comps, a Form E
must be submitted to Graduate Studies.
Please check with Graduate
Studies for official due dates!
THESIS:
If a student is pursuing the thesis route, he/she must register for
only six hours of thesis. If a student completes his or her
coursework and has not finished his or her thesis, the student must
register for one hour of maintaining matriculation in the discipline
through the graduating semester. If a student changes from the
thesis track to non-thesis track and has registered for thesis
hours, these hours must be removed from the transcript before the
student can graduate. The thesis defense and college reader approval
must be completed by mid-December. The final copies of the thesis
are due to Graduate Studies by mid-December. Please check with
Graduate Studies for official due dates!
APPLICATION
FOR GRADUATION: The
application for graduation must be submitted to the Registrar’s
office for December and May graduations. Students will receive an
electronic application when they receive confirmation of their
approved Form D or at
