No credit is given for a course unless the student has been duty registered
in that course. The number of credit hours that a course carries per semester is
listed in parentheses following the course title.
If the number listed is variable, i.e., “(2–4),” the amount of credit
that the student is to receive must be stated at the time of registration. Any
subsequent change in the amount of credit will be permitted only during the
period when courses may be added for credit. Indication of variable credit does
not mean that a course can be repeated for credit. If a course can be repeated
for credit, that information is included in the course description.
No graduate credit is allowed for work taken in a class that includes a
freshman or sophomore student, or that is taught by an instructor who is not a
member of the graduate faculty. Graduate credit is not given for undergraduate
courses taken as prerequisites for graduate courses.
The meaning of the first digit of the four digit number preceding each course
description in this bulletin is explained below. The meaning of the second,
third, and fourth digits varies by department.
4000–4999 • For advanced undergraduate students (those who have
completed a minimum of 60 semester hours), and for students in graduate and
professional schools and colleges; for undergraduate or graduate credit.
Undergraduates with 30 or more semester hours who are making timely progress
toward a degree may be admitted to 4000-level courses, if they have a
grade-point average of 3.50 or higher, the appropriate prerequisites, and
consent of the instructor.
5000–5999 • For students in post-baccalaureate professional
programs (law and veterinary medicine).
6000–6999 • Exclusively for teachers at the elementary, secondary,
and junior college levels.
7000–7999 • For students in Graduate School; for graduate credit
only except as follows. Undergraduates with 75 or more semester hours who are
making timely progress toward a degree may be admitted to 7000-level courses, if
they have a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher, the appropriate
prerequisites, consent of the instructor, and consent of the graduate dean.
Credit so earned will apply only toward undergraduate degree requirements.
8000–8999 • Research courses exclusively for graduate students,
primarily for students working toward the master’s degree; for graduate credit
only.
9000–9999 • Research courses exclusively for graduate students,
primarily for advanced graduate students working toward the doctoral degree; for
graduate credit only.
The 5000-level professional courses listed in this bulletin are for students
in the School of Veterinary Medicine only. Prerequisite for enrollment in these
courses is formal admission to the professional curriculum in the School of
Veterinary Medicine. All courses must be taken in the proper sequence, as each
is a prerequisite for the succeeding course. Some courses are designated as
Veterinary Medicine (VMED) courses rather than departmental courses because of
the integration of disciplines.
The 7000-level courses designated as Veterinary Medicine (VMED) are utilized
by all concentrations in the veterinary medical sciences program.
