Students with entry dates fall 2006 and after may not exceed completed hours that total 125% of the credit hours needed for a specific degree program and retain in-state tuition eligibility. Students exceeding 125% will be assessed a surcharge for each semester of continued enrollment after exceeding the credit hour threshold. The following courses and credit hours shall be excluded: remedial courses; transfer from another college or university that do not meet degree requirements for general education courses or the student's chosen program of study; advanced placement or international baccalaureate that were obtained while in high school or another secondary school program; and dual enrollment, college-level obtained by the student prior to receiving a high school diploma. To refer to Section :F of the Code of Virginia, please use the following link: p. 47, Longwood University Academic Catalog, XII. CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICATION Students who are applying to graduate school should be aware that most graduate programs in CSD expect at least a B in CSDS courses and a minimum GPA of 3.0. These goals are not required for graduation from Longwood University. At the graduate level, students should be prepared to repeat any CSD course in which a grade of C+ or lower was earned. To build a more favorable transcript and GPA, an undergraduate student may also consider re-taking a CSD course having a grade of C or lower before graduating. Courses taken after graduation will not improve your GPA. If you have additional questions about graduate school expectations, please see your advisor.
