GRAD UATE SCHOO L OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Th e Graduate School at the University of Richmond offers programs leading to the Master of Arts in English, history , political science , and psychology; the Master of Edu cation; the Master of Science in biology; the Master of Humanities; the Master of Sport Management ; and the Master of Teaching
These programs se rve a diverse constituenc y. Most accept both full-time and parttime students and meet a variety of individu al needs and interests. Broadly speaking, the Graduate School accomodates three kinds of students : 1) those seeking , for pro fessional purposes, a capstone to their formal study ; 2) those seeking a transition to d octoral study; and 3) those seeking pers o n al intellectual enrichment. In some pro grams a certain kind of student predominate s. Virtually all stud e nts in Sport Man-
agement , for example , are pursuing a terminal degree to advance their careers, while the majority of students in Humanities are concerned with personal enrichment. Other programs have a greater mix: History and English , for example , will have students in all three categories .
The salient feature of the Graduate School is its small size. About 220 students will enroll for graduate study in a given semester , roughly 75 of these as full-time students. While this means that the Graduate School cannot offer an extensive array of courses , it also means that students can enjoy the close attention of faculty. Classes are small and professors are very accessible. Students can expect careful advising and guidance of their work and ample opportunities to work with faculty in the library and laboratory.

Organization and History
Several colleges and schools are incorporated to form the University of Richmond with authority and responsibility vested legally in the Board of Trustees and the President of the University. The several colleges and schools award no degrees individually, but all degrees for work done in any one of them are conferred by the University of Richmond.
The University originated with Richmond College, a college ofliberal arts and sciences for men, founded in 1830 . Around this nucleus were established The T. C. Williams School of Law (1870); Westhampton College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for
women (1914); the Graduate School, for advanced study in the liberal arts and sciences (1921); The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business (1949); University College, for evening, summer, and continuing edu cation 0962); and The Jepson School of Leadership Studies (1989). These divisi ons enroll about 2 ,800 full-time undergraduat es, most of whom live on campus; some 500 full-time graduate and law students; an d, largely from the Richmond communi ty, 1,600 pa1t-time students.
Each college has its own dean or dir ector, student body, and institutional life. The University Senate , on which sit represen tatives of all the faculties, provides for intercollegiate cooperation.
University Commitment
The University of Richmond is afford ed a distinctive opportunity to offer an edu cation that is powerful in developing hu man capabilities. The University benefits from a heritage of ethical and religious value s , a residential character, and a commitment to liberal and general education through intimate colleges and schools joined int o a substantial whole.
The University's exceptional natural advantages of campus and location pro vide another distinctive characteristic, th at of uncommon attractiveness. The cam pus consists of some fifty major buildings , of a splendid Collegiate Gothic architectural style, set on three hundred fifty acres of lawns, lake, and woodlands. The University is situated in a state whose leading coll eges and universities enjoy an especially po sitive image . The City of Richmond, though located in the densely populated east ern corridor and near the nation 's capital, is not overwhelmed by the problems of con gestion and modem urban life. The city and region offer countless cu ltural and edu cational resources that enhance the Univers ity's special character.
The University's educational pro gram uses these advantages. It aims to be a m odel
of coherence , both in relating various appro aches to knowledge in a fragmented inte llectual world and in connecting knowled ge with ethical sensitivity and civic resp o nsibility. Through curricular emphases , stude nt involvement in volunteer service , the honor tradition , athletics , the work of the chaplaincy, and special academic programs , the University of Richmond is an institution able to make a genuine human differe n ce through the educational program tha t it offers.

ACADEMIC REGUIATIONS
Degree Candidacy
Admission to the Graduate School does not admit a student to candidacy for a degree . To be accepted as a degree candidate , a student must have met the candidacy requirements listed for that degree.
Registration Matriculation
Information concerning matriculation procedures and schedules of classes will be mailed approximately one month before the opening of each semester to all currently enrolled students and to those who have been accepted for admission. Students may register for classes by mail or in the Graduate School office on the dates indicated in the Academic Calendar on pages 4-5 of this catalog. A fee is charged students who fail to complete matriculation (payment of fees and registration for classes) by the close of registration on the dates indicated.
limits of Work
A full-time student carries from 9 to 16 semester hours in one semester. Full fees will be charged for 9 semester hours or more. The maximum load for a graduate student in one semester is 16 semester hours.
A full-time student usually requires a minimum of one academic year and a summer session to complete requirements for a degree. Some departments require that students take their graduate work in two full academic years.
All students are urged to bear in mind that graduate work requires much more time and effort for reading, research, and organization of material than does undergraduate work and to make every effort to limit outside work. If outside employment is an economic necessity, students should consult their department coordinator concerning the advisability of limiting their academic load.
Audit
A student who wishes to audit a class without receiving credit must first obt ain permission from the instructor and pay the specified fee for auditing. No change from credit to audit status or from audit to credit status may be made after registration.
Undergraduates in Graduate Courses (500-level)
Senior undergraduates (usually majors) with a GPA of at least 3.50 in the discipl ine and a 3.00 overall may participate, un der certain conditions , in 500-level gradu ate courses. The senior student must hav e at least four courses of advanced work in the discipline. Participation is by written invitation of the instructor and the gradu ate coordinator. However, in classes with limited facilities , preference is given to graduate students enrolled in degree progra ms.
Credit for undergraduates taking 500level courses will be at the undergradu ate level , and the fact will be so noted on the student 's permanent academic record.
Master's Degree Study, Early Beginning
University of Richmond students who are near completion of the undergradu ate degree may begin study in a Master 's Degree program in the Graduate School. To qualify for this option, a student must h ave already passed at least 100 semester h ours of coursework before beginning his/her seventh semester of study, have an overall grade point average of at least 3.3, and be admitted to the Graduate School as a regular student by its standard procedures. Individual departments may set a higher minimum grade point average (both overall and in the major) to qualify for this option and/ or restrict the courses that may be taken under it. Until students have compl eted
requirements for the bachelor's degree, they may take no more than three courses for graduate credit and no more than two in any given semester. Although a student wh o is accepted to this option will be enr olled in undergraduate and graduate courses simultaneously, the undergraduate and graduate transcripts will be kept separately. Courses taken for graduate credit will not apply to the bachelor's degree. The student will register as an undergraduate and pay the undergraduate tuition rate until the bachelor 's degree is completed.
Academic Standards
Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend regularly all classes, laboratories, and seminars. Excessive absences with or without good cause may result in loss of credit for the course in which the absences occur.
Grades
The level of students ' performance in classwork and examinations is indicated by letter grades. A, B, C, and D indicate passing work, although grades in the A and B categories are usually necessary for graduate credit (see "Credit " below). These letter grade s may be accompanied by a plus ( +) or minus (-) to indicate a relative position within the grade category. P shows credit has bee n earned in a Pass / Fail course, and Z sho ws that a course was audited. S and U indicate satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance in non-academic courses or in a Pass/ No-credit course. W indicates that the stude nt withdrew from a course with a passing average. Marks indicating failure and included as such in the grade point average are F, M (withdrew from a course With a failing average), and V (failure because of excessive absences). The X indicates that the grade has not been received from the instructor.
I and Y mean that coursework has not been completed by the end of the term . The /, w hich provisionally counts as a failing
Academic Regulations
grade, is given when the reasons for incomp lete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made up by the date the instructor specifies, but no later than 45 calendar days from the last class day of the term in which the I was given. If the work is not made up during the grace period, the I will be converted to F The Y, which does not count as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed justifiable by the instructor, or at the end of the first term of a course that continues into a succeeding term. There is no deadline for completion of the work unless the instructor so specifies. In all cases, it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to the completion of an incomplete course.
Not counting a Y grade given for thesis or internship courses and barring extraordinary reasons such as ill health, students may take no more than one incomplete (I or }') in any given semester and carry no more than two at any given time. Students who exceed the limit will not be allowed to enroll in further courses until they have cleared the excess incompletes.
Grade Point Average
The UniversityofRichmonduses the semester hour value . A semester hour is the value of one 50 minute class-hour of work a week through a nominal 14-week semester.
The grade point average is based on two factors:
GPA Hours/Attempted Semester HoursThe accumu lation of academic semester hours that have grades to which grade point values are assigned; and
Grade Points - Given for each semester hour 's grade according to this scale:
Academic Regulations
Calculation - The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of GPA/semester hours attempted.
The accumulations and average are shown for the term on the student grade report. Also shown on the grade report is Earned Semester Hours/Passed Semester Hours which is the accumulation of academic semester hours in which the student has earned passing grades.
Grade reports are sent to the student's permanent address after the close of each term. Students also may review their progress with the graduate coordinator of the department or the Director of the Graduate School.
Academic Achievement
Students are expected to maintain at least a B (3.00) average to remain in the Graduate School. A student who earns less than B-(2.7) in two graduate courses will not be permitted to continue in the degree program . A student who has been dropped fromaprogram mustreapplyif readmission is desired .
Graduate Course Credit
Graduate credit is allowed only for courses approved for graduate credit in which grades of B- (2.7) or better are received. No credit toward graduation will be given to an Arts and Sciences graduate course in which the student earns a grade lower than B-(2.7). For coursework taken in the Schools of Business or Law, a maximum of one course with a grade of C (2.0) may be applied to the Master of Sport Management degree program.
Certain undergraduate courses are approved to be taken for graduate credit; however , graduate students are expected to achieve at a higher level and to complete more work than the undergraduates in these courses. Undergraduate courses approved for graduate credit have course numbers below 500 and are shown in the Curricula section following. The student
must indicate on the registration form that an approved course below the 500 level is being taken for graduate credit; otherwi se, the course will be counted as undergr aduate. A student cannot change the leve l at which such a course is being taken after the first 10 class days in a semester. Courses taken for undergraduate credit cannot be counted toward hours required for a graduate degree even though undergradu ate coursework may be required to rem ove deficiencies in preparation .
All work taken becomes a part of the student 's permanent record regardle ss of the course level and whether it is tak en to make up deficiencies , to earn professi onal certification, or to satisfy the student 's personal wishes.
Thesis Regulations
An advising committee shall be appo inted for each candidate writing a thesis to complete his or her degree program. The committee will supervise the preparation of the thesis. The committee shall have a minimum of three faculty, at least two of w hom must be from the candidate 's departm ent. One member of the committee , with the approval of the Director of the Grad u~te School, may be from outside the Unive rsity, but cannot serve as chair. The chair o f the committee shall be the candidate 's prin cipal advisor, but all members of the commi ttee are expected to read and commen t on the thesis.
Final copies of theses must be submi tted to the Graduate School office for bindin g by the first Wednesday in April for May graduate and the first Thursday in Augu st for August graduation. The Master's de gree will not be awarded, nor will a diplom a be released, until the required number of copies for binding have been submitted an d all binding and microfilming fees have been paid. The copies of the theses retaine d b'f the University are deposited in the auth or 5 home department, the Boatwright Library, and the University Archives.
Academic Regulations/Transfer Credits
Graduation Application for Degree
To graduate, students must file a degree application and comply with the graduation attendance policy. Degree applications for the Mayor August graduation must be filed in the Office of the University Registrar by the first Friday in February. Students who are enrolled in the summer term only and plan to graduate in August must file by the third Friday in June. Degree applications are available in the offices of the Director of the Graduate School and the University Registrar.
Participation in Commencement
Degrees are awarded in person except by the decision of the University not to do so. A student who expects to graduate in the spring commencement may request absentia status by explaining in writing the very unusual circumstance which prevents participation in the ceremony. This request must be received by the University Registrar no later than eight working days before the ceremony. The Registrar will notify the degree candidate of the status granted by the University. Unless approved as "absentia, " a candidate for graduation who does not participate in the commencement ceremony does not graduate Such candidate may graduate by again filing a degree application and by following the appropriate graduation policy.
August degrees are conferred as of the date specified in the Academic Calendar, and diplomas are mailed to those qualified.
Note: No degree is conferred if the student's responsibilities to the University are in an unsatisfactory condition. Responsibilities in this sense include financial and administrative matters such as, but not limited to, delinquent payments, parking fines, or overdue library books.
Transfer Credits
It is expected that all work for a master's degree will be done at the University of
Richmond. Under certain circumstances, with the approval of the appropriate department and the Director of the Graduate School, a maximum of 6 to 8 semester hours may be transferred from an accredited graduate school, but such credit may be transferred only after students have demonstrated the quality of their work in at least three graduate courses (minimum of 9 semester hours) taken at the University of Richmond. Only courses with the grade of B- (2.7) or better will be considered for transfer credit. Approval by the department and the Director must be obtained in advance if a graduate student in a degree program plans to take work elsewhere for transfer credit.
Work in other graduate degree programs of the Universitymay be applied to an MA or M.S.program only on the prior recommendation of the department and the approval of the Director of the Graduate School.
Single students not living on campus may pay this fee for which they will receive medical attention and Health Center privileges.

Financial Affairs/Refund Policy
Part-Time Students:
Classification
and Fees
Graduate students who take fewer than 9 semester hours of studies per semester are pa rt-time students.
In order to serve as broad a spectrum of the community as possible, the Graduate School offers a special tuition remission to pa rt-time graduate students from the greater Richmond metropolitan area. The resulting reduced fee for the 1992-93 session is $225 pe r semester hour rather than the regular $635 per semester hour. The reduced rate ap plies to the first 4, or fewer, hours of enr ollment of qualified part-time students. Normally, a single course in the social sciences or humanities carries 3 semester ho urs of graduate credit and would, therefore , cost $675 at the special reduced rate. Most courses in the natural sciences and in psychology carry 4 semester hours of credit Refund Policy
for a reduced rate of $900. Certain 1-hour courses may also be taken in addition to a regular 3-hour course at the reduced rate .
Note: The part -time fees apply only to students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and not to graduate students in the School of Business.
Fees For Degree Candidates
A degree candidate whose program includes the thesis must pay the fees for thesis binding. Payment is due at the beginning of the semester or term when the student expects to receive the diploma.
Degree candidates must also purchase their academic regalia for the Commencement ceremony. The fee is nominal and the regalia, including the master's hood, are the student's to keep.
Further details are available from the Graduate School office.
Students are matriculated by semester. If a student withdraws or is dropped from the University for whatever cause, a refund of fees for a fall or spring semester shall be made in accordance with the University's refund policy, based on the following schedule. This schedule is prorated for summer terms. Refunds are made first to any financial program the student may be receiving, then to any University unsettled account, and then to the student.

Financial Aid
The University offers graduate students various forms of financial support drawing on state, federal, private, and its owns resources. Financial aid is awarded without regard to race color , religion, national origin , sex, handicap, or age. There are basically three types of aid, described in further detail below, available from the University:
1. Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships. These are awards to cover all or part of tuition costs and, on occasion, living expenses that do not have to be paid back In most cases they require some service to the University. They are awarded by the Graduate School and the Athletic Department.
2. Loans . These are advances of money to cover all or part of tuition costs and living expenses that must bepaid back. Because they are guaranteed by the government, the interest rates on these loans are very favorable. They are administered by the Student Financial Aid office.
3 . Work programs. These are programs that afford students the opportunity to earn income to help defray living expenses. Some positions require students to show need, others do not. The Student Financial Aid office certifies student need; individual departments do the hiring.
Although not all financial aid is award ed on the basis of need , all applicants interested in financial aid of any kind must have a statement of their need on record in the Student Financial Aid office. This is accomplished by completing the Financial Aid Form (FAF) of the College Scholarship Service in Princeton, New Jersey. The forms, whid: are available soon after January 1, should be sent directly to the Service, which will analyze them and send the results to the University . Applicants for Assistantships/ Fellowships should have their FAFs at Princeton by no later than February 5 in
order for results to reach the University by the March 15 deadline. Since the FAF calls for information from tax returns, applic ants should complete their taxes as soon as possible after the New Year.
