This information was emailed to students accepted into an accelerated MS program for summer or fall 2020 on April 24, 2020.
Congratulations on being accepted into an accelerated master’s program at Michigan Tech for summer or fall 2020. We hope that you and your family are doing well.
At the University Senate meeting this week, new policies were approved in response to the challenges of this academic semester. Pending administrative approval, these policies will give you additional options and flexibility toward completing your courses this semester.
- The accelerated master’s program allows you to double-count up to six credits of undergraduate courses toward your graduate degree, with the permission of your graduate program director.
- The University will allow graduate level courses to be converted to pass/fail.
- The Graduate School will allow a limited number of pass (SCV) grades in courses to be used to satisfy degree requirements.
- Each graduate program may allow up to six credits of BC, C, or SCV grades to count toward a graduate degree. At the discretion of the graduate program, an additional three (3) credits of SCV may be allowed to count toward degree requirements. Please consult with your graduate program director to determine the scholastic standards in your program.
For more information about the pass/fail option, please consult the University’s web site.
Please let us know if we can assist you in any way as you begin your career as a graduate student.
Sincerely,
Michigan Tech Graduate School
