Candidacy
For the first 15 credits in the program, students are pre-candidates. During this time you meet with your Advisor for initial program planning.
Upon completion of 15 credit hours in the program, students should meet with their Advisor to develop a Candidacy Form. This form becomes the written agreement stipulating degree requirements. It identifies which courses will be taken (including electives and transfer credits), when the Comprehensive Examination will be taken, and which degree (MA or MEd) will be earned.

To be eligible for Candidacy, students must have completed 15 hours of course work (including EDUC 500 Introduction to Research and Graduate Studies), and maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. The program Advisor must recommend the student for Candidacy. At this time, the individual student's performance to date, including grade point, class performance, and other issues that may arise will be reviewed.

The Program checklist on page 14 of the Adult Education Student Handbook outlines program requirements and serves as the foundation for the Candidacy Form. When approved by the student and his/her Advisor, the Candidacy Form is filed with the Registrar. A degree cannot be issued until all requirements listed on the Candidacy Form have been satisfied.

In the event that a Candidacy Form must be changed, a Petition for Exception to Policy must be filed. The Petition states the requested change and the rationale for doing so. The Petition requires the signature of the student, the student's Advisor, the Program Chairperson, and the Dean/Designee of the College of Education. Petitions may be used to request acceptance of transfer credits and course substitutions.
Candidacy is not required for those in the Post-Master's Certificate in Community College Teaching program.
