must be completed. The student, the student’s advisor, and the dean must sign this form before it is forwarded to the Office of Student Records for acceptance. Final approval of the substitution or waiver will be made by the Registrar in conjunction with the appropriate dean. The form will be included in the student’s permanent file.
If the course substitution or waiver involves a General Education Curriculum degree requirement, the dean in whose school the requirement resides is responsible for approving the request. If the substitution or waiver does not involve a General Education Curriculum requirement, the dean in whose department/school the student’s major resides is responsible for approval.
Independent Study
An independent study course covers subject matter that is not currently offered in the university catalog but is of special interest to the student. These courses of independent study or supervised research may be offered for 1 to 4 hours credit at the junior (3000) level and above. The third and fourth digits in the number listing for these courses will be 50. Approval of the proposed study by the dean of the school, the chairperson of the department, and the instructor who will supervise the study is required prior to registration. A syllabus must be acknowledged by both the instructor and student and a copy kept on file in the dean’s office. A maximum of 9 hours of directed study and supervised research will be accepted for the graduation requirement.
Joint Undergraduate/Graduate Enrollment
Students with senior standing may register for up to six hours of graduate credit (see 5000 or above series courses in the Graduate Catalog) with the consent of the dean of their school and the dean of the school in whose program the courses reside/Director of GPNA and the course instructor. Graduate courses applied towards an undergraduate degree may not be applied towards a graduate degree. Certain courses are cross‐listed in the same discipline on the undergraduate and graduate levels. If a student completes a cross‐listed course as an undergraduate, the student cannot later take the same course for graduate credit.
Overload
Any undergraduate student wishing to enroll in 19 credit hours or more during spring or fall semester or 8 hours or more in a summer term must obtain a recommendation of her/his advisor and approval of the dean. Students with a grade point average of 3.0 or better for the previous semester, and with an acceptable cumulative grade point average may request permission to register for an overload using the “Request for Overload” form, available in the Office of Student Records and from deans’ offices. Approval must be secured in advance of and presented during registration.
Repeating Courses
Any course taken at Texas Wesleyan University and repeated for a grade must be repeated at Texas Wesleyan University. Any course taken at another institution may be repeated at Texas Wesleyan, and the most recent grade on the course will be counted. When a course is repeated, the grade point average will be computed using the most recent grade achieved.
