9 GRADUATESCHOOLOF ARTSAND SCIENCES
The Graduate School at the University of Richmond offers programs leading to the Master of Alts in English, histo1y, and psychology; the Master of Education; the Masterof Science in biology; the Master of LiberalArts; the Master of Sport Management; andthe Master of Teaching.
These programs serve a diverse constituency. Most accept both full-time and parttime students and meet a variety of individual ne eds and interests. Broadly speaking , the Graduate School accommodates three kinds of students: 1) those seeking, for professional purposes , a capstone to their formal study; 2) those seeking a transition todoctoral study; and 3) those seeking personal intellectual enrichment. In some program s a certain kind of student predominates. Virtually all students in Sport Management, for example, are pursuing a terminal
degree to advance their careers, while many of the students in Liberal Alts 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 150 students will enroll for graduate study in a given semester, roughly 60 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.

The University originated wit h Richmond College, a co lleg e of liber a l a rts and sciences for men, founded in 1830. Around this nucleus were established The T. C. Williams School of Law (1870) ; W es th ampton College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for women (1914 ); th e Gr ad uate School, for advanced study in th e lib eral a1ts and sciences (1921); The E. Claiborn e Robins School of Business (1949); Schoo l of Continuing Studies (formerly Uni ve rsity College), for evening, summer, an d continuing education (1962) ; and th e Je pson School of Lea dership Studies (1989 ). These schools enroll about 2,900 full-tim e undergraduates , most of whom live on campus; some 500 full-time graduate and law students; and, largely from the Richm on d community, 1,300 part-time students.
Each school has its own dean o r director , student body , and institutional life. The University Senate, on which sit repr esentatives of all the faculties, provides for intercollegiate cooperation

If a SpecialStudent decides to pursue a programleading to the Master's degree, he or she must reapply for admission as a graduate student and meet all the requirements in the sec tion entitled "Admission as a Graduate Student. "
Although there is no limitation on the number o f courses a Special Student may take, no more than six hours in 3-hour courses and eight hours in 4-hour courses taken as a Special Student may be later ap-
plied to a regular graduate degree program. Special Students taking graduate Education courses for licensure as teachers may not apply those courses to a graduate degree in Education.
Not all depattments admit Special Students and some do so with fu1ther restrictions. Information about specific department policies are available from the Graduate School Office. The student also should consult with the appropriate departmental graduate coordinator before enrolling in any graduate-level course.

Cooperative Programs
A cooperative program offered by the Graduate School and The T.C. Williams School of Law enables a student to earn both a Juris Doctorate and a Master's degree. Th e program affords unusual opportuniti e s for int e rdisciplinary study and research. In the recent past , students have combined their legal studies with graduate work in history and biology.
ACADEMICREGULATIONS
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 ea ch semest e r to all currently enrolled students and to those who have been accepted for admission.
Students may register for classes by telephone on the dates specified in the detailed academic calendar published each year by the Univ e rsity Registrar. A fee is charg e d student s 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. A more typical period of full-time study is one and a half 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 aud it a class without receiving credit must first obtain permission from the instrnctor an d pay the specified fee for auditing. No ch ange from credit to audit status or from audi t to credit status may be made after registra tion.
Undergraduates in Graduate Courses (500-level)
Undergraduates (usually majors) witha GPA of at least 3.50 in the discip line anda 3.00 overall may participate , un der certain conditions , in 500-level graduat e courses. The student must have at least four courses of advanced work in the discipli ne. Participation is by written permission of the instructor and the graduate coordin ator.
Credit for undergraduates taking 500level courses will be at the und ergraduate level, and the fact will be so no ted on the student's permanent academic record
Master's Degree Study, Early Beginning
University of Richmond stu dents who are near completion of the und ergraduate degree may begin study in a Master's De· gree program in the Graduate School. To qualify for this option, a student must have passed at least 100 semester ho urs of coursework before beginning his/her serenth semester of study, have an overall grade point average of at least 3.30, andbe admitted to the Graduate Schoo l as a regu · Jar student through the nonnal application process. Individual depa1tments may set a higher minimum grade point average (botli overall and in the major) for stu dents seeking to qualify for this option an d/or restrict the courses that may be taken u nder it.Un. nents til students have completed requ!fet for the bachelor 's degree, they may cake ~o more than three courses for gra duate ere 11 . mesand no more than two in any given se du· ter. Although a student who be gins gra
ate study e arly will be enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses simultaneously, the undergraduate and graduate transcripts w ill b e kept separately. Courses takenfor g raduate credit will not apply to thebachelor's degree. The student will registeras an undergraduate and pay the undergradua te tuition rate until the bachelor 's degree is com pleted.
Acad e mic Standards
ClassAtten dance
Studen ts a re ex pected to attend regularly allclasses, laboratories, and seminars. Excessive ab se n ces with or without good cause may result in loss of credit for the course in w hich the absences occur.
Grade s
The eva lua tion of students ' performance inclasswo rk an d exa minations is indicated byletter grades. A, B , C, and D indi ca te passin g wo rk, a lthough grades in the A and B catego ries are usually necessary for graduate cred it (see "Credit " below). These lettergrade s may be accompanied by a plus (+) or minus( -) to indicate a relative position within th e grade category. P shows credithas been earned in a Pass /Fa il course, andZ shows that a course was audited. S andU indic ate satisfacto1y or unsatisfa c to1y performan ce in non-academic courses or in a Pass/No -cred it co urse. W indicates that thestuden t wi thdrew from a course with a passing average . Marks indicating failure andinclud e d as such in the grade point average are F, M (withdrew from a course Witha failing average), and V (failure because of ex cess ive absences). The X indicatesthat the grade has not been received fromthe instr uctor.
I and Y mean that coursework has not beencomplete d by the end of the term. The I, Whichprov isionally counts as a failing grade , is given when the reasons for incompletework are deemed unjustifiable by the 10structor The work is to be made up by the datethe instructor specifies, but no later than
4 5 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 45-day period, the I will be conve1ted 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 toward the completion of an incomplete course.
Not counting a Y grade given for thesis or internship courses and barring extraordina1y reasons such as ill health, students may tak e no more than one incomplete (I or }'.) in any given semester and cany 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
Th e University of Richmond uses the semester hour value. A semester hour is th e valu e of one SO-minute class-hour of work a week through a nominal 14-week semester
The grade point average is based on two factors:
GPA Hours /A ttempted Semester HoursThe accumulation 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:
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 may also 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 from a program must reapply if readmission is desired Readmission would not take place before the next application/admission cycle (i.e. one semester).
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 for 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 may 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 stu-
dent must indicate on the registra tio n form that an approved course belo w th e 500 level is being taken for graduate cred it; otherwise , the course will be count e d as undergraduate. A student cannot ch ange the level at which such a course is b eing taken after the first 10 class days in a se mester. Courses taken for undergraduate credit cannot be counted toward hours req uired for a graduate degree even thou gh undergraduate coursework may be re quired to remove deficiencies in preparati on.
All work taken becomes a p art of the student 's permanent record re ga rdless of the course level and whether it is taken to make up deficiencies, to earn p ro fessional certification , or to satisfy the stu den t's personal wishes.
Thesis Regulations
An advising committee shall b e appointed for each candidate writing a th esis to complete his or her degree program. The committee will supervise the preparat ion of the thesis. The committee shall have a minimum of three faculty, at least two of w h om must be from the candidate 's depart m ent. One member of the committee , with the approval of the Director of the Graduate Sch ool, may be from outside the University , b ut cannot serve as chair. The chair of the committee shall be the candidate 's principal advisor, but all members of the committee are expected to read and comment on the the sis.
Final copies of theses must b e submitted to the Graduate School office for bindingby the first Wednesday in April for May graduation and the first Thursday in August for August graduation. The Mast er 's degree will not be awarded, nor will a diplomabe released , until the required num ber of copies for binding have been submi tted and all binding and microfilming fees have been paid. The copies of the theses re tained b,Y the University are deposited in th e authors home department, the Boatwri ght Libra[)' , and the University Archives. Th ose theses
inthe Boatwright Library are available to be checked o ut by library patrons, and can be ordered by other institutions through InterlibraryLoan.
Gradua tion
Application for Degree
To gradu ate, students must file a degree application and comply with the graduation attendance policy. Degree applications for the May or August graduation must be filed in the Office of the University Registrar by the second Friday in September. Students who are enrolled in the summer term only andplan to graduate in August must file by the third Friday in June. Degree applications are available in the offices of the Director of the Grad uate School and the University Registrar.
Participa ti on in Commencement
Degrees are awarded in person except bythe decision of the University not to do so A student who expects to graduate in thespring commencement may request absentia status by explaining in writing the circumstance which prevents participation in thecerem o ny. This request must be receivedby the University Registrar no later thaneight working days before the ceremony. The Registrar will notify the degree candidate of the status granted by the University. Un le ss approved as "absentia, " a candidate for graduation who does not participate in the commencement ceremony doesnot gr aduate. 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 have not been met. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to, such matters as the payment of fees, parking fines and library fines , and the return of 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 accepted in transfer, 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. All coursework transferred must be completed at an institution accredited as degree-granting by a recognized regional accrediting body for higher education at the time the coursework is completed. 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 University may be applied to an M.A. or M.S. program only on the prior recommendation of the department and the approval of the Director of the Graduate School.

Part-Tim e Students:
Classifi ca tion and Fees
Graduate students who take fewer than 9semester hours of studi es per semester are pa1t-time students.
In order to serve as broad a spectrum of the community as possible , the Graduate School offers a specia l tuition remissio n to part-time graduate students from the greater Richmond me tropo litan area. The resulting reduced fee for the 1996-97 sess ion is $285 per semeste r hour rather than the regular 835per se mester hour. The reduced rate applies to th e first 4, or fewer , hours of enrollment o f qualified part-time students. Normally, a single course in the socia l sciences or h um a niti e s carr ies 3 semester hour s of graduate cred it and would , therefore, cost $855 at the specia l reduced rate. Mostcourses in the natural sciences and in psychology carry 4 semester hours of cred it

Note : The part-time fees app ly on ly to students in the Graduate School of Alts and Scie nces and not to grad u ate students in the Schoo l 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 stude nt expec ts to receive the diploma.
Degree candidates also must purchase their academic regalia for the Commencement ceremony. The fee is n omina l and the rega lia , including the master's h ood , are the stud ent 's to keep.
Further details are ava ilab le from the Graduate Sch oo l office.
Students are matr iculated by semester. If a student w ithd raws or is dropped from the Universityfor whatever ca u se , a refund of fees for a fall or spr ing semes ter sh all be made inaccordance with the University 's refund policy , based on the following sched ule. This schedult is prorat e d for summer terms. Refunds are made first to any financial program the student may be receiving, then to any University unsettled acco unt , and then to the student.

Financial Aid
The University offers graduate students various forms of financial suppo1t drawing on state, federal, private , and its own resources. Financial aid is awarded without regard to race, color , religion, national origin , sex, disability, or age. Applicants for financial aid must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a degree or certificate program at the University. There are basically three types of aid , described in further detail below, available from the University:
1. Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships. These are awards which cover all or part of tuition costs and , on occasion , living expenses and which 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. These advances must be paid back. Because they are guaranteed by the government, the interest rates on these loans are very favorable. They are administered by the 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 Financial Aid Office certifies student need; individual departments do the hiring.
Although not all financial aid is awarded 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 Financial Aid Office. This is accomplished by completing both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)and the University of Richmond's Financial Aid Supplemental Application. The FAFSA should be mailed by mid-February to ensure its receipt by the processor no later than February 25. The Supplemental Application, along with copies of tax returns and W-2 forms, is mailed directly to the Financial Aid Office.
Eligibility for need-based financial aid is re-evaluated annually based upon co mpletion of the financial aid applications. In addition, students must meet certain stan dards of satisfacto1y academic progress as outlined by the Financial Aid Office.

Graduate Assistantships/Fellows hips
The Graduate School awards a nu mber of full-and partial-tuition assistantsh ips on the basis of academic promise and need. Some are awarded purely on merit. They require up to 12 hours se1vice a week to the recipient 's department or to the University.
