MASTER OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
(MLIS) PROGRAM (Effective Fall Term 1998 99-1)
|
|
| |
MAINTENANCE OF A 3.0 QPA |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Each student must maintain a 3.0 Quality Point Average
(QPA) for the 36 credits of graduate level coursework required
for the MLIS degree and must have a 3.0 QPA at the completion
of the 36 credits to graduate from the MLIS program.
|
|
| |
ACADEMIC PROBATION/DISMISSAL FROM
THE PROGRAM |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Failure to maintain a 3.0 QPA in any term will result in the
student’s being placed on academic probation immediately.
If the student does not raise his or her QPA to a 3.0 after
the next nine credits completed, the student will be dismissed
from the MLIS program.
|
|
| |
GRADES FOR CORE COURSES |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A grade of a B (9.0 Quality Points) or better must be earned
in each of the five required core areas:
- LIS 2000 Understanding Information
- Core Requirement in Organization Area
- Core Requirement in Information Retrieval Area
- Core Requirement in Management Area
- Core Requirement in Information Technology Area
If a grade of B (9.0 Quality Points) or better is not earned,
the student must register for the course in the next term
offered and earn a grade of B (9.0 Quality Points) or better.
A core course may be repeated only once.
Only the three credits of the repeated course may be counted
toward graduation. In accordance with University policy, the
original grade remains on the student’s official University
transcript. In calculating the student’s QPA, the average
of the quality points for the grades of the original and the
repeated courses is used.
|
|
| |
GRADES FOR ELECTIVE COURSES |
|
| |
|
|
| |
All students must earn satisfactory grades in each elective
course taken. Grades of C-, D+, D, D-, F and Unsatisfactory
are unacceptable for credit toward graduation. A course for
which such a grade is earned must be replaced with another
course or retaken, with a higher grade earned. In either case,
a higher grade must be earned and a 3.0 QPA be maintained.
A course for which a grade of C- or lower was earned may be
repeated only once.
|
|
| |
ACADEMIC PROVISIONAL ADMISSION |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Effective for students entering the MLIS program in the Fall
1998 term (99-1) At the discretion of the Admissions and
Review Committee, a very limited number of students who do
not meet the 3.0 QPA minimum required for full admission into
the MLIS program may be considered for admission. If such
students are able to provide additional evidence of academic
potential (e.g., outstanding scores on the Graduate Record
Exam or the Miller Analogies Test) or professional potential
(e.g., outstanding letters of recommendation and/or outstanding
work experience), they may be admitted to the MLIS program
with academic provisions. Such students must earn a B average
(3.0 QPA) in the first four courses taken. Failure to achieve
a 3.0 QPA at the conclusion of the first 12 credits, will
result in dismissal from the MLIS program.
