Regulations:
• 60% of the total WSU hours must be numbered at the 800 level or above. For programs entered from a Bachelor’s degree, 60% of the total WSU
hours must be at the 700 level or above AND 50% plus one credit hour must be at the 800 level or above. Transfer hours cannot be used to meet
these requirements unless they are at an appropriate level from a KBOR institution.
• No grade lower than a “C” (generating 2.00 grade points) is acceptable on a Plan of Study.
• Approval of a course on a plan of study comes with the expectation that that course will be completed with a grade of “C” or better. If a lower grade
is already in place at the time the plan is approved, approval implies that the course will be repeated with an acceptable grade.
• In order to meet requirements to graduate, students must achieve a 3.00 GPA on both the Plan of Study and in the cumulative grad GPA at WSU.
• Beginning with the Fall 2019 catalog year, all degree bound students must complete their program’s Applied Learning Requirement in order to
