Validation of Out-of-Date Graduate Credit for Master’s Degrees
Policy approved by Graduate Council June 6, 2001
A PSU course more than seven years old at the time of graduation, but no more than ten years old at the time of
graduation, may be used toward master’s degree requirements after a successful validation exam (for example, a course
taken in Fall 2005 may be validated for a graduation term no later than Fall 2015).
This examination, which must be approved by the student’s department (and by the course department, if different) in
advance, must be administered and evaluated by the department which originally taught the course. A separate
examination must be given for each course. Departments are expected to limit validation examinations to those
courses that are current and relevant in the discipline and meet the current requirements of the master’s degree
program.
For courses originally requiring a written final examination, paper, or report, the validation exam must be written. For
other courses, the validation examination may be written or it may be an oral examination with at least two faculty
evaluators. In either case, the validation examination must be a formal, comprehensive assessment of the student’s
current mastery of the individual course materials, with a B- or higher grade achieved.
o For written validation exams, the examination and the student’s written response must be submitted with the
GO-15 form.
o For oral validation exams, the two faculty evaluators must submit with the GO-15 form a written one-to-two-page
report on the content of the examination and the student’s performance in the examination.
Validation is not complete until the GO-15 form, with all required documentation, is approved by the Office of
Graduate Studies.
Validated courses are limited to one-third of the program requirements (i.e., 15 credits total in a 45-credit program).
Each examination attempted, regardless of result, has a fee of $50.00, which will be credited to the department giving
the exam. This fee must be paid before the examination is held, with arrangements made through the Office of
Graduate Studies and Cashiers. Please contact the Office of Graduate Studies (184 Parkmill, 503-725-8410) at least
two business days in advance to arrange for the payment.
In very unusual cases, with the specific agreement of both the student’s department and the department most equivalent to
the original course department, a student may validate a graduate course from another accredited institution.
The course must meet all transfer requirements except for age. It must meet the same age requirement at graduation
defined above.
The original syllabus and course materials must be presented to the examining department and submitted with the
GO-15.
The validation procedure will be otherwise exactly like validation of PSU courses (above).
This validation policy can also be used for courses applied to graduate certificates.
VALIDATION OF OUT-OF-DATE GRADUATE CREDIT FOR MASTER'S DEGREES
All credits to be applied to a master's degree program must be completed within seven years of the date of graduation (e.g., courses taken in
Fall 2008 expire at the end of Fall 2015). Credits that will be more than seven years old at the time of graduation, but no more than ten years
old at the time of graduation, may be validated by separate examination according to the PSU Validation Policy.
