Under the following conditions, a degree-seeking undergraduate may enroll into graduate courses and reserve that course for credit toward a graduate degree:
- The student must have a university grade point average of at least 3.00.
- The student must have completed at least 100 semester hours of coursework toward an undergraduate degree.
- The student must be registered for/registering into their final undergraduate semester at Texas A&M University-Victoria .
- The student may not register for more than 9 graduate semester hours in the long semester or for more than 6 graduate semester hours in the summer session in which the course is reserved.
- No more than 9 semester hours may be reserved for graduate credit.
- The student must submit a graduate application for the program they will be taking classes from. Only specifically designated, approved programs will allow concurrent enrollment.
- The student must submit a Pre-Grad: Enrollment Progression Form and have it approved by the College to be enrolled into graduate courses.
- Students should not assume that graduate courses will be used to meet requirements toward the undergraduate degree, in keeping with the requirements of A&M-Victoria’s accrediting body (the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges - SACSCOC). Students are advised to speak with advisors in both the undergraduate and graduate programs regarding how credits will be applied toward their degree plan(s)
- For Financial Aid eligibility purposes only, undergraduate degree-seeking students who are approved to enroll in a graduate-level course during their final undergraduate term(s) may qualify for undergraduate aid for their undergraduate coursework provided all conditions below are met:
- The student is officially classified as undergraduate-degree seeking.
- The student is not yet admitted to a graduate program for the term in which aid is being awarded.
- All applicable financial aid eligibility requirements must be met.
-
Graduate courses that are not required for completion of the undergraduate program are not eligible to be counted for financial aid purposes.
An undergraduate student enrolled in a graduate course is subject to all university regulations affecting undergraduates.
All graduate coursework will count toward a student’s graduate GPA. Any and all grades earned while an undergraduate student is completing graduate-level courses will count towards the graduate GPA. A maximum of two C grades is allowed within the graduate program, for programs that allow C grades (see the catalog for individual program specifics). If a student earns more than two C grades, either while concurrently enrolled in undergraduate courses or otherwise, those courses will need to be repeated. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for graduate students to meet degree requirements.
Students who take graduate courses under this policy are admitted as non-degree seeking graduate students. No guarantee of full admission to the program is made, and students will not be fully processed for an admissions decision (into the graduate program) until their undergraduate degree has been awarded. Once a student receives their undergraduate degree, they must submit a Pre-Grad to Graduate Form in order for their graduate application to be reviewed and an official admission decision to be made. Should a student’s degree not be conferred, their admission into the graduate program will be revoked. If a student is denied admission due to their degree not being awarded, they would no longer be eligible to take graduate-level courses until their degree has been conferred.
