Purpose. The purpose of this catalogue is to provide information about the graduate programs of Sam Houston State University to students and prospective students, as well as to the faculty and staff of the University. Included is information concerning requirements for admission to Graduate Studies at Sam Houston State University, services available to students, graduate course offerings, and listings of the administrative officers and the graduate faculty of the University.
While every effort has been made to make this catalogue as complete and accurate as possible, it should be noted that changes may occur at any time in requirements, deadlines, fees, courses, etc. listed herein.
This catalogue was prepared well in advance of its effective date; therefore the course descriptions may vary somewhat from actual course content because of advancements in the discipline, interests of individual professors, or decisions to change the scope of a course. Thus the descriptions that follow are not provided in the nature of a contractual obligation.
Graduate Faculty. The faculty of Graduate Studies consists of those members of the University academic administration and faculty who have been appointed to graduate faculty membership in accord with established procedures. It is expected that these members will be actively engaged in recognized scholarly activities, fundamental research, or professional activity.
The Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Services is responsible for the academic programs of all graduate students. The dean of each college serves as the official representative of the graduate faculty of the college and as the official channel of communication between the graduate students of the college and the University administration.
Graduate Council. The Graduate Council is a standing committee. It is an advisory body to
the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Services who is the chief
administrative officer of the Graduate Faculty. This Council is responsible for
making recommendations regarding general policies pertaining to graduate study
at the University.
Graduate Courses. A graduate course is an advanced course requiring critical analysis and study. Such courses normally require frequent use of the library for reference to papers reporting original research. Five types of graduate instruction are recognized: (1) lecture courses requiring organization by the instructor of material on an advanced level; (2) supervised laboratory courses; (3) seminars for the critical study of an organized field through reports presented by students or instructors; (4) research by individual students under the direction of members of the Graduate Faculty; and (5) professional internships. In some instances, an undergraduate level course is required to provide sufficient stem work to pursue a graduate course. In order to receive graduate credit for an undergraduate level course, the student must receive prior written approval from the division/department chair and the dean of the college.

Library holdings information is available through an online catalog that may be accessed from the hundreds of computer terminals located throughout the library and the campus. The Data Research Associates computer software is used also by library staff for cataloging, acquisition, circulation and other purposes.
Students and faculty may search both manual and computerized periodical indexes or abstracts for citations. Full access to bibliographic citations on a number of compact disk, read-only-memory (CDROM) databases such as ERIC, Sociofile, Psychlit and UMI Periodical Abstracts are available from terminals throughout the campus area network. This same network provides easy access to library holdings at a number of Texas university libraries, including Texas A&M and the University of Texas. Most material which is not available locally is easily obtained through the OCLC interlibrary loan system and database of over 30 million bibliographic records. It enables students and faculty to obtain books, journal articles and other materials from anywhere in the United States and many other countries by fax or mail within days.
The Library also houses over 12,000 rare books or other materials on Texas, the Southwest, Mark Twain, Gertrude Stein, the Civil War, Library Science, Criminal Justice and other topics in the Thomason Room. The recently restored Peabody Memorial Library contains the University Archives and SHSU Collection of faculty monographic publications.
A Learning Assistance Center opened in 1991 on the first floor of the library. The Center provides computer assisted learning, educational materials and tutoring services that will help students to pass the TASP (Texas Academic Skills Performance) test. Focusing on reading, writing and mathematics skills, the TASP must be passed by all students before they enroll in courses beyond the sophomore level.
A number of guides and bibliographies have been developed by library faculty and staff to assist library users in utilizing library material and services. Study carrels, electric coin-operated typewriters, and a modern copy center with several photocopiers and a public fax machine are available also. A lounge area furnished with soft drink and snack vending machines is also available.

All students are allowed access from the LAN to the Internet over a high speed (T1) connection. The Internet is a wide-area network of academic, governmental, commercial, and military organizations. Students may correspond with their friends at other universities, as well as join international special interest subscription lists.
Also available for students is SamInfo, SHSU's campus-wide information system (CWIS). Through SamInfo, students may register for classes, access libraries, view their transcripts, change their addresses and majors, print their degree plans, and determine their university financial obligations.
To be admitted to Graduate Studies, an applicant must (1) hold a baccalaureate degree from a college or university of recognized standing; (2) show promise of ability to satisfactorily pursue advanced study and research; (3) have had adequate preparation to enter graduate study in the field chosen; and (4) submit with the application acceptable scores on the appropriate entrance exam for each individual college, division/department.
Application Fee for Admission to Graduate Studies. Effective with the fall semester, 1995, a $20.00 non-refundable, one-time application fee must accompany the application form. Checks or money orders must be payable to Sam Houston State University. DO NOT SEND CASH.
Entrance Examinations. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) will be given at Sam Houston State University and various centers throughout the United States and in other countries. To determine the most convenient locations, prospective applicants should write to Graduate Record Examinations Testing Service, Box 955R, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. Also, information may be obtained through the office of the appropriate academic dean.
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). This test is required for admission to graduate study in the College of Business Administration at Sam Houston State University and is administered on the university campus three times each year -- January, June, and October. Registration for each examination closes approximately one month prior to testing.
NOTICE
THE GRE TESTING PROGRAM WILL CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE FALL OF 1997, AND THIS
CHANGE WILL AFFECT GRADUATE ADMISSIONS FOR EVERY DEPARTMENT WHICH REQUIRES THE
GRE.
Currently all applicants submit scores from the GRE General and/or Subject Test
(as appropriate). Once the new GRE is introduced, there will be two General
Tests. Each will contain sections on verbal reasoning and analytical reasoning
(both revised) and a new section on writing. The difference between the two
will be in the fourth category: One General test will contain a section
entitled Mathematical Reasoning, the other a section entitled Quantitative
Reasoning. The Mathematical Reasoning component will measure the ability of
examinees to use the techniques of calculus and other college level
mathematics, providing a clearer indication if the mathematical reasoning sills
of applicants in highly quantitative fields. The Quantitative Reasoning
component will measure skills important to students in those fields requiring
some degree of quantitative reasoning, but not extensive training in
mathematics. WHICH OF THE TWO GENERAL TESTS AN APPLICANT WILL BE REQUIRED TO
TAKE FOR ENTRANCE BEGINNING FALL, 1997, WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE DEPARTMENT TO
WHICH THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING ADMISSION. THEREFORE, QUESTIONS ABOUT WHICH TEST
AN APPLICANT SHOULD TAKE MUST BE DIRECTED TO THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT.
Another significant change which will take effect in the fall of 1997 is that
paper-and-pencil exams will no longer be offered. All General Tests then and
thereafter will be computer-based.
Inquiries regarding admission to Graduate Studies should be addressed to the office of the appropriate academic dean, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas 77341. Inquiries about facilities for advanced studies, research, and requirements for graduate work in specified fields should be addressed to the department/division in which the principal work is offered.
A formal application is required of all persons seeking admission to Graduate Studies. To allow time for processing, the application forms, which are available from the office of the appropriate academic dean, should be filed at least 30 days (60 days for international students) prior to the beginning of the semester. After this time period, students must go to their major division/department before being allowed to receive an advisement sheet. Admission to Graduate Studies cannot be completed until all the credentials enumerated have been filed and evaluated:
1. Application for Admission to Graduate Studies
2. Official
transcripts of all college-level work, including the official transcript which
shows the date the undergraduate degree was conferred.
3. Copies of
scores on the appropriate entrance exam required by each college and
division/department as listed below:
College of Arts and Science
--GRE
College of Business Administration--GMAT
College of Criminal
Justice --GRE
College of Education and Applied Science--GRE
(Agriculture --GRE or GMAT; Health, Kinesiology, Psychology-- GRE or MAT)
4. Other credentials, as indicated by the division/department or academic
college, as may be necessary for graduate study in a specific
division/department or academic college.
Students who wish to pursue the doctoral program in Criminal Justice must
complete the GRE and request the Doctoral Admission Form from the College of
Criminal Justice, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas 77341.
In addition to the records sent to the office of the appropriate dean, students
should have in their possession a copy of their records for use in conference
with members of the Graduate Faculty in planning their work.
Admission to Graduate Studies may not be approved in instances where the facilities and staff available in the particular field are not adequate to take care of the needs of the student.
Admission to Graduate Studies remains valid for one (1) calendar year only, unless the student, during this period, engages in active graduate work.
1. The original copies of all completed graduate
studies admissions forms and documents are filed in the office of the
appropriate academic dean. Copies of pertinent forms and documents are
maintained in the office of the appropriate division/department chair.
2. The office of the appropriate academic dean enters all graduate studies applications
into the computer.
3. After all admissions forms and documents are gathered for an applicant, a graduate
student folder containing the material is forwarded to the graduate advisor of
the appropriate division/department for admission review. The graduate advisor
initiates an admissions recommendation to the dean who sends an admissions
acceptance or rejection letter to the applicant. A copy of the letter from the
dean is forwarded to the appropriate graduate advisor and another copy is
placed in the graduate student folder which is maintained in the office of the
dean together with the admissions review letter written by the graduate
advisor.
4. The graduate student is responsible for the initiation of the graduate
degree plan which is prepared by the appropriate graduate advisor. The original
copy of each graduate degree plan is filed in the office of the dean with
copies furnished to the appropriate division/department chair and the
student.
5. After an applicant is admitted, all subsequent written communications
concerning graduate records are forwarded to the appropriate
division/department chair. This includes forms for admission to candidacy and
for completion of the comprehensive examination. Forms initiated at the
division/department level are forwarded to the office of the dean.
6. When the graduate student applies for a degree, the office of the dean
forwards a copy of the student's degree plan (graduate study plan) to the
Registrar. The Registrar will check the degree plan and transcript of the
degree candidate. The student is responsible for initiating counseling for any
graduation requirement problems by the office of the dean.
7. The appropriate dean is responsible for the certification for graduation
of graduate students.
Regular Admission.
The applicant shall have:
1. Earned a minimum grade point average of 2.5
(4.0 scale) on all previous college studies or 2.8 on the last sixty semester
hours of course work applicable to the baccalaureate degree.
2. Earned a composite score of 800 or more on the aptitude section of the
Graduate Record Examination. Only verbal and quantitative portions are used in
calculating scores. The College of Business Administration requires the
Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT); see College of
Business Administration section of this catalogue. The College of Education
and Applied Science requires a score of 50 or more on the Miller Analogies Test
when that test is accepted instead of the GRE.
3. Fulfilled specific requirements as indicated by the division/department or
college for the pursuit of graduate study. Meeting stated minimum admission
requirements does not constitute automatic admission to a graduate program at
Sam Houston State University.
The above listing represents minimum requirements for Regular Admission; refer
to the appropriate section of this catalogue to determine the specified
requirements.
Divisional/Departmental Entrance Requirements. Under normal circumstances applicants to all Graduate Programs must fulfill the minimum graduate studies requirements specified under Regular Admission. However, all applicants should note that these are absolutely minimum standards and that most departments and programs have significantly higher requirements. These specific requirements are listed under individual divisional/departmental sections of this Catalogue. Any inquiries regarding these requirements should be directed to the individual department or to the Dean of the appropriate College in which the department is listed.
Conditional Admission. An applicant whose records are incomplete may be granted Conditional Admission and be classified as a Conditional Graduate Student until all records are complete and all Regular Admission requirements are fulfilled. Degree seeking graduate students taking one or two graduate courses per semester will be required to complete all requirements for regular admission prior to registering for the third graduate course.
An applicant whose grade point average or appropriate test score is substandard may, at the discretion of the chair of the major division/department and appropriate academic dean, be granted Conditional Admission and be classified as a Conditional Graduate Student.
The College of Business Administration and the College of Criminal Justice do not allow any type of conditional admission.
Personal Standards. Sam Houston State University requires the same personal standards and applies the same criteria in considering applications for admission as it uses in the retention of students who are enrolled. To be consistent with this policy, the University reserves the right to refuse acceptance to prospective or former students who have criminal records including conviction of a felony, offenses involving moral turpitude, or other serious offenses. The personal standards of conduct expected of students who enroll at Sam Houston State University are provided in the student affairs handbook, Student Guidelines.
Scholastic Record. The normal requirement for admission to Graduate Studies is a record during at least the last two years of full-time academic study which gives evidence of ability to do successful graduate level work.
A student whose academic record is not satisfactory for this purpose or who is changing fields of study may be required to take additional work to strengthen his or her background and to prepare for graduate study. Such work will normally be arranged in conference with the graduate advisor or the chair of the student's major division/department.
Before accepting a student for graduate study, the department in which he or she expects to take work may require that the student pass a comprehensive examination covering the basic undergraduate work in that field.
Graduate Students in Nondegree Status. Admission of post-baccalaureate nondegree graduate students to departments/divisions and courses is subject to individual departmental/divisional policy.
Continued registration as a post-baccalaureate, nondegree graduate student is contingent each semester upon satisfactory academic performance and the recommendation of the department/division with which the student is affiliated.
Graduate students in a nondegree status who failed initially to qualify for admission to advanced degree programs but who aspire to work for advanced degrees may be given the opportunity to demonstrate the ability to do graduate work, if the divisions/departments so recommend. A maximum of fifteen graduate semester hours credit completed in a nondegree status may be applied to a graduate degree program at the discretion of the department or division concerned.
No graduate student may be admitted to Sam Houston State University as a nondegree-student nor register in a nondegree status without the prior written approval of the appropriate academic dean.
International Students. A student from another country who seeks admission to Graduate Studies must meet the same requirements for admission and candidacy as students from the United States, including the submission of scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or the Miller Analogies Test.
In addition, prospective students from other countries must demonstrate the ability to speak, write, and understand the English language. Prospective students whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which is administered by the Educational Testing Service in over 200 centers around the world. A registration form and a Bulletin of Information for Candidates may be obtained by writing to TOEFL, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, U.S.A.
All applicants for admission from non-English-speaking countries must present a score of at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Sam Houston State University has an English as a Second Language Program for non-English-speaking international students. Information about this program may be obtained by contacting the English as a Second Language (ESL) Office, College of Education and Applied Science, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas 77341.
Each graduate student is responsible for becoming familiar with the rules and regulations pertaining to graduate study and the requirements for advanced degrees.
The normal load for a full-time graduate student is nine (9) to twelve (12) hours per semester. Any exception to this guideline must be approved in advance by the dean of the college in which the student is seeking a degree. Six (6) hours is the maximum load per summer session. The maximum load for assistant instructors on one-half time employment is nine (9) hours per semester or three (3) hours per summer session. Assistant instructors on less than a half-time assistantship may have their maximum course load authorization increased proportionately by the appropriate department/division chair. Recipients of assistantships are normally required to register for the course loads specified above.
Dual Registration. Undergraduates at Sam Houston State University who at the beginning of a given semester are within twelve (12) hours of graduation or at the beginning of a summer school are within six (6) hours of graduation may apply for admission to Graduate Studies provided they meet the appropriate entrance examination requirements and have a B average or better for the last three semesters of course work. Such students must complete their undergraduate work and obtain the bachelor's degree during the first semester or summer session following their admission to Graduate Studies. The maximum total credit hour load for dual registered students is fifteen (15) hours in the regular semester or six (6) hours in a summer session.
An undergraduate student may enroll in a graduate course for graduate credit only if he/she files a written petition for approval with the appropriate college dean stating that the student is reserving the graduate course for graduate credit and is not including it for credit on his/her undergraduate degree program. Such petitions must be approved by the chair of the student's major (undergraduate) division/department and the student's academic dean. The combined undergraduate and graduate course load shall not exceed fifteen (15) semester hours in a semester or six (6) semester hours in a summer session.
Requirements for Registration of International Students
1. Each student must provide evidence of his/her ability for financial
support while studying in this country.
2. All international students are required to purchase the group
Hospitalization, Medical Evacuation, and Repatriation Insurance available to
all eligible SHSU students. Proof of this insurance must be presented to
designated university officials each semester before the registration process
can be completed. Further information concerning this required coverage may be
obtained from the Undergraduate Admissions Office. Purchase of this insurance
is coordinated through the University Health Center.
3. Immediately upon arrival on campus, international students should make contact
with the University Coordinator of Graduate Studies to ensure that all
admission and immigration papers are in order.
4. Certified English translations are required for documents prepared in a language
other than English.
Graduate Advisors. A graduate student entering the University for the first time is
required to consult with the advisor in his or her particular field of interest
regarding courses and various programs of study. Academic advisement is
required prior to each registration. Graduate advisors will be available for
consultation several days prior to registration.
Residence credit may be awarded for work off campus at the discretion of Sam Houston State University under especially approved conditions and in accordance with the terms of Section 4.3 of criteria for Accreditation, Commission on Colleges, Southern Association of College and Schools. At least one third of the semester hours required for the degree program for any student enrolling in any of the proposed courses will be completed in course work on the campus. Additionally, a student is subject to the residency requirements as stated for each degree program.
> Transferred Credit. The number of semester hours of transfer credit allowed varies among the several academic divisions of the University; each student should inquire of the appropriate dean concerning transfer credit allowed for a specific degree. Credit toward a graduate degree may not be obtained by correspondence course study.
A program leading to a master's degree or to a doctorate must be completed within six years from the date of the student's entry into that degree program.
APPLICATION FOR A DEGREE
Prior to the semester or summer school in which the degree is to be conferred,
a formal application and payment of the diploma fee of $18 must be made in the
Registrar's Office. The Academic Calendar which is located in the current
catalogue and in the Schedule of Classes indicates the deadline for making
application for a degree. A student who is completing the last semester of
course work at an institution other than the University must provide the
Registrar with an official transcript of this course work no later than one day
prior to the graduation date. Diplomas will not be released to students who
have a financial indebtedness to the University.
ATTENDANCE AT COMMENCEMENT
Should a degree candidate be unable to attend commencement, a written request
for the award of the degree in absentia should be directed to the Office of the
President of the University. The degree candidate should indicate the address
to which the diploma is to be mailed and should enclose $3.00 ($8.00 for
diplomas to be sent to foreign countries) in check or money order to cover the
mailing of the diploma. Checks should be made payable to Sam Houston State
University.
CHANGE OF SCHEDULE (ADDING AND DROPPING COURSES)
1. Students may make schedule changes by accessing SamInfo at https://www.shsu.edu/saminfo
2. No schedule changes may be made after the deadline specified in the
Academic Calendar. A course dropped after the stated deadline is entered on the
student's permanent record with a grade of F.
CORRECT ADDRESSES
It is necessary to have on file with the University a correct residence
address. A student who changes an address after completing registration should
immediately report this address to the Registrar's Office. The University
assumes no obligation for failure of a student to receive communications.
NAME CHANGE
Appropriate documentation which substantiates a legal name change for a student
must be submitted to the Registrar prior to the student's next registration.
Registration under a name different from that used in the student's last
enrollment cannot be accomplished without the above certification, which
becomes a part of the student's permanent file. All grade reports and
transcripts are issued under the student's legal name as recorded in the
Registrar's Office.
OFF-CAMPUS COURSES
Courses taught at locations away from the main campus carry residence credit
but are denoted on the transcript with "OC" after the course title. Students
may register for off-campus courses on the Sam Houston State University campus
during the regular schedule of registration periods. If it is not convenient
for students to register on the campus at these times, they may register during
the first organizational meeting of the class at the place and time it is held.
Off-campus tuition, fees, and procedures for resignations, "Adds" or "Drops",
are the same as for students attending classes on campus. See the current
Schedule of Classes for a complete listing of courses and their locations.
RESIGNATIONS
To resign (officially withdraw) from the University, a student must report to
the Registrar's Office (113 Bobby K. Marks Administration Building) and process a Resignation
Request. The Resignation Request must be in writing and becomes effective on
the date received by the Registrar's Office. The effective date of the
Resignation Request, as received by the Registrar's Office, is the date which
is used for determining any refund. The student is responsible for clearing all
debts owed to the University.
Students who resign after the first nine weeks of a regular semester or after the first two weeks of a summer session receive a mark of WP (withdrew passing) or WF (withdrew failing) for each course for which they are enrolled. Students who resign from the University while enrolled in a course whose duration is less than a normal term will receive a mark of WP or WF if they resign after one-half of that course time has been completed. The mark of WP or WF is the responsibility of the student's instructors.
TRANSCRIPTS
A currently enrolled student or a former student of the University may obtain a
transcript of his/her completed work from the Office of the Registrar. All
requests for transcripts must be in writing and must be accompanied by the
individual's signature. A fee which, according to state law must be paid in
advance, will be charged for each copy. The fee for each transcript is $3.
Transcripts will not be released to students who have a financial indebtedness
to the University. Checks should be made payable to Sam Houston State
University.
1. The student must have met all requirements for Regular
Admission to Graduate Study (submitted all forms including official

considered for admission to candidacy to a degree program.
2. The student may apply for admission to candidacy after completing nine
hours of graduate work, but must apply for candidacy no later than the
completion of fifteen hours of graduate work. Students who have completed
fifteen or more graduate hours must present a copy of the final degree plan in
order to register for additional course work. Students pursuing the MFA degree
should refer to "Admittance to Candidacy" on page 57.
3. A student must complete all course stem work requirements prior to
admission to candidacy.
4. The student must have a minimum graduate grade point average of 3.0.
5. The student must apply for admission to candidacy in one of the following
ways:
a. Apply to the chair of the major division/department.
b.
If seeking the Master of Education degree under Plan II, apply to the
appropriate division/department chair for programs in Teacher Education,
Agriculture Education, Home Economics Education, Vocational Education, Health,
Industrial Education, and Kinesiology.
c. If seeking a degree from the College of Business Administration, apply to
Coordinator of Graduate Studies, College of Business Administration.
d. If seeking a master's degree from the College of Criminal Justice, apply

e. In all cases, the academic dean of the college is the final review
authority.
6. The chair will certify in writing to the dean of the academic division
that the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
division/department's graduate faculty that he/she has the ability to:
a. Perform acceptably in graduate courses and seminars.
b. Do intensive research and investigation with a high degree of
resourcefulness and self-direction, where applicable.
c. Complete satisfactorily the preliminary examinations, where required.
7. The chair will forward a copy of the student's final graduate degree plan
with the certification of admission to candidacy to the appropriate dean.
Student enrollment in 699 or in 899 must be for the semester or summer session in which the student expects to receive the degree. If the degree in question is not awarded at the end of that semester or summer session, re-enrollment in 699 or in 899 will be required during a subsequent semester or summer session in which the degree is again expected to be awarded.
A student who enrolls for 699 or for 899 and does not complete the thesis or dissertation during the semester or summer session of enrollment will be awarded the mark of IP. That student must continue to enroll in 699 or 899 during regular semesters and summer sessions until completion of the thesis or dissertation, and must be enrolled in 699 or 899 during the semester or summer session the degree is awarded.
A student who is unable to work on the thesis or dissertation for a period of time may present to the appropriate academic dean a written request for a leave of absence of up to one year. The dean's approval of such a request must also be in writing. Additional requests for leaves of absence may be approved but they must be resubmitted after the previous leave has lapsed.
A student is required to complete graduate work within a six-year period, measured from the date of initial enrollment for graduate credit in a particular degree program. The period of time a student is on an approved leave of absence will be counted as time accumulated towards that six-year deadline for completion of the degree. After the deadline, the mark of IP will become a mark of Q.
Any extension of the six-year deadline must be approved in writing by the appropriate academic dean. A student on a leave of absence will be considered an active student for purposes of official records, but will lose access to university services.
Prospectus. The candidate, in consultation with the director of the thesis committee, will select a subject of investigation and determine the availability of the required sources, facilities, materials, and equipment for the research and the writing of the thesis. The student will prepare a thesis prospectus which will specify the thesis topic, detail the purpose of the proposed investigation, describe the proposed method(s) of investigation, indicate the relationship of study to relevant research and findings of scholars in the student's area of concentration, and provide a commentary on source materials and/or facilities available for the successful completion of the research.
The prospectus shall be submitted to the thesis committee during the semester following admission to candidacy. After the committee has approved and signed the prospectus, it is submitted to the appropriate academic dean for final approval. Any subsequent changes in topic or the proposed method of investigation must be approved in writing by the thesis committee and submitted for approval to the appropriate academic dean.
Thesis Preparation. In order to facilitate the preparation of the thesis, the candidate should procure a copy of the Directions on Form, Preparation, and Submission of The Final Copies of Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations. These guidelines are available from the appropriate academic dean's office, and from the University's Office of Graduate Studies.
Thesis Procedure. The candidate must submit the completed thesis to his/her committee for final approval at least three weeks prior to the date on which he/she expects to graduate. The following steps are the order of procedure:
1.
The director of the thesis committee will establish a time and location for
administering an oral examination on, or verbal defense of, the thesis. Members
of the thesis committee and all members of the graduate faculty in the
candidate's major field will be invited to attend the oral examination and may
question the candidate.
2. The academic dean shall be informed of the time and location for the
examination. Each academic dean shall appoint a member of the University
Graduate Faculty to serve as a non voting representative of the dean for each
thesis, dissertation, or oral examination committee within the respective
college. The college representative may be selected from a related academic
discipline within the college or may be requested to serve from another
college. Each college representative will submit a final report to the
appointing dean providing an assessment of the thesis, dissertation, or oral
examination committee's procedures and actions.
3. After the examination is passed and the thesis is approved and signed by
the committee, the typed original shall be submitted to the academic dean at
least two weeks prior to the date on which the candidate expects to graduate.
4. Upon receipt of approval of the academic dean, the original and the required
number of acceptable copies of the thesis are taken to the Newton Gresham
Library by the candidate. (Reproduction of the thesis is the responsibility of
the candidate.) The candidate will pay the Newton Gresham Library for the
binding costs. The original copy of the thesis will remain in the library
collection.
5. The Thesis Route Sheet is forwarded by the Newton Gresham Library to the
appropriate academic dean.
All candidates for the master's degree must pass a comprehensive examination
based on all course work in Graduate Studies. The major division/department
will establish whether the comprehensive examination is written, oral, or a
combination of both examinations.
The division/department chair of the major field will organize a committee of at least one
graduate faculty representative from each area of concentration for the
administration of the examination. The grade "high pass," "pass," or "fail,"
must be filed by the division/department chair in the office of the appropriate
dean. A re-examination shall be permitted on any part(s) of the examination
which the candidate fails. A third examination may be permitted upon approval
of the appropriate academic dean and the committee.
Written Examination. The written examination usually will cover three areas of
concentration: two areas in the major division/department and one area in the
minor division/department. If all course work for the degree is within one
division/department, the comprehensive examination will be determined by that
division/department only.
Oral Examination. The oral examination is scheduled by the major division/department
with committee members representing the major division/department and the minor
division/department, if applicable.
A student may not simultaneously pursue two master's degrees at Sam Houston State University.
An individual holding a graduate degree from Sam Houston State University may relinquish the first graduate degree for a second graduate degree by completing all requirements for the second degree and securing the approval of the appropriate dean(s) and the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Services. The Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Services shall be responsible for seeing that the permanent record reflects the change.
The mark IP denotes "in progress" and is given in theses and other courses which cannot be completed within one semester. The mark CR denotes "credit" and is given in one-hour workshops and may be given on transferred courses. The mark WP denotes "withdrew passing" and the mark WF denotes "withdrew failing." The mark X denotes an incomplete course. If the student meets the prescribed requirements of the course before the end of the next academic semester after the X is given, the student will receive the grade earned; otherwise, the mark X will be automatically changed to an F. The mark of Q will be given students who drop courses from the thirteenth class day, for a semester, or from the fifth class day, for a summer session, until the last day for dropping courses without grade of F as stated in the Academic Calendar. Courses with the mark of Q will not be counted as courses attempted, and will not be included in determining grade point averages.
The graduate student who elects to drop all courses, i.e., to resign from the University, must report to the Registrar's Office and process a Resignation Request. (See Resignations.)
If a student's cumulative grade point average falls below the minimum of 3.0, the student is automatically on scholastic probation. The probation must be removed in one semester or the student will be subject to suspension.
In order to achieve and remain in academic good standing at Sam Houston State University, a graduate student must maintain an overall grade point average of at least 3.0 (B) on all graduate course work attempted. (See Scholarship)
A 3.0 overall grade point average is the absolute minimum required for graduation. A graduate student who falls below a 3.0 overall grade point average at the close of any semester or summer school during which one or more semester hours are attempted will be placed on probation. Summer school (two sessions) is considered to be a unit equivalent to a semester. If an enrolled student on probation fails to achieve a minimum of 3.0 overall grade point average at the close of the next semester or summer school following the starting of the probation, the student will be suspended.
Academic actions are based on the total Sam Houston State University record and are implemented at the close of the fall semester, the spring semester, and the summer school.
The appropriate academic dean may place on probation or retain on probation or suspend any student deficient in grade points without regard to the regulations previously stated.
Any appeal for a review of the termination of graduate status should be directed in writing to the appropriate academic dean.
To be eligible for appointment to a position of Assistant Instructor, the applicant must have met all requirements for Regular Admission to Graduate Studies.
Assistant Instructors are usually appointed for one academic year, i.e., two semesters, and may have the position renewed for a second year. In some circumstances a position of Assistant Instructor may be limited to a single semester. Only in the most unusual of circumstances will an Assistant Instructor be considered for appointment for a fifth semester. Retention of the position of Assistant Instructor is at all times conditional upon the continued good standing of the student in Graduate Studies and upon satisfactory performance of work assignments for which the stipend is provided.
A half time assistant instructor normally is responsible for two courses, or four laboratories, or twenty clock hours of duty each week and is expected to be enrolled in six to nine semester hours of course work each semester. Such instructors generally may not hold other salaried positions from the University. Any exception to this rule may be made only upon written approval of the appropriate academic dean. A stipend is paid semi-monthly. All assistant instructors must pay tuition and fees as required of all resident students.
Applications for positions of Assistant Instructor may be obtained from the office of the appropriate academic dean.
Additional information regarding the Academic Common Market may be obtained from the Office of the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, 206 Bobby K. Marks Administration Building, telephone (936) 294-1002.
A nonresident may qualify to pay in-state tuition if: 1) the student or his/her spouse or parent is a member of the Armed Forces and is stationed in Texas; 2) the student or his/her spouse or parent is employed by an institution of higher education in Texas and is a faculty or teaching/research assistant on at least a half-time basis; or 3) the student holds a competitive academic scholarship awarded by the university of at least $200 for the academic year or summer.
By state law, the student has the responsibility for registering under the proper residence classification. If a student has knowledge of an error in his/her residence classification for tuition purposes, it is the student's responsibility to notify the Residence Classification Officer immediately. Inquiries should be directed to the Residence Classification Officer, Undergraduate Admissions Office, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas 77341, or by calling (936) 294-1828.
The University receives Instructional Funds from the State as follows. For the two long semesters, the total number of semester hours for which students have registered, as of the twelfth class day, is the number of hours on which the funds are based. For each summer session, funds are based on total registered hours as of the fourth class day of each session. Students who have not completed their registration by the above dates may not receive credit for work for the semester/session.
The Texas Legislature has authorized collection of tuition and fees during a Fall or Spring semester by one of two methods: payment in full or one-half payment of the tuition and fees at registration and separate one-quarter payments due prior to the sixth and eleventh class weeks. Parking permits, late registration fees, and yearbook fees are examples of charges which must be paid in full and are not eligible for installment payment. There is an additional processing fee for administration of the installment payment plans, $30 for Texas residents and $50 for nonresidents. Failure to make timely installment payments will cause accrual of late charges ($20 per installment) and reinstatement charges ($50).
Any financial aid, tuition waivers, grants or deferments will be used to reduce the amount owed by the student, with the remaining balance eligible for the installment payment plan. During a summer session, the tuition and fees are collectible in full. The Texas Legislature has reserved the right to discontinue the installment payment plan.
Students will not be admitted to classes by the instructors until their tuition and fees are paid.
PAYMENTS
Payments made for registration purposes may be made by cash, cashier's check,
personal check, money order, or VISA or MasterCard credit card. All checks and
money orders are accepted subject to final payment.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Students are expected to meet financial obligations to the University within
the designated time allowed. Registration fees are payable at registration,
except for that portion of the registration fee that may be temporarily
deferred, but payable later in scheduled payments as part of an installment
payment agreement. Students are not entitled to enter classes or laboratories
until their appropriate fees and deposits have been paid. Other charges are due
at registration or within ten days after a bill is rendered by the University,
or according to special payment instructions that may be printed on the bill or
agreement.
Failure to pay the amount owed in full, including appropriate penalty and late fee charges, prior to registration for a future semester or prior to the last class day for the current semester or summer session can result in any or all of the following sanctions: 1) withholding of future registration privileges; 2) withholding award of degree; and 3) withholding of an official certified transcript. Any grades earned by the student during the semester or summer session an indebtedness to the University remains unpaid will not be posted to the student's academic transcript until the amount due the University is paid in full, including appropriate penalty and late fee charges.
Students who pay fees with a returned check may suffer the above sanctions as well as those shown in the following section.
COLLECTIONS FOR NON PAYMENT
Non-payment by the end of the semester will result in transfer of the student's
account to a contracted collection agency and assessment of a collection fee of
at least 25 percent of the outstanding balance. The University may also choose
to litigate an account on advice of University legal counsel. Should an account
be litigated, the student will be responsible for all litigation expenses
including attorney's fees and court costs. Accounts that are referred to a
contracted collection agency may also be reported to credit bureaus.
RETURNED CHECK POLICY
A returned check is defined as one returned to the University rightfully unpaid
due to no fault of the bank or the University. The check may be written by the
student or the check may be written on his/her behalf by a spouse, guardian,
friend or sponsor.
The University reserves the right to refuse personal checks of any student who previously has had checks returned.
Each returned check is subject to a $20 check processing fee. Students have 10 days from the date on which notice is sent from the Business Office in which to pay the returned check and the returned check processing fee or inform the Business Office of their intent. Thereafter, the student may be resigned from the University. (The student should not assume that we are resigning him/her. If the student discontinues going to class without officially resigning from school, he/she will be subject to the grade of F.) Students who have been resigned are eligible for reinstatement upon redemption of such check or checks, plus the returned check processing fee and the payment of a reinstatement charge of $50. A student who fails to make payment prior to the first day of final exams will not receive credit for the work done that semester and will not be allowed to register for future semesters until the delinquent amount is paid. In addition, the checks will be referred to the District Attorney of Walker County for prosecution and collection. Past due accounts are referred to the District Attorney of Walker County for prosecution and collection. Past due accounts are referred to a national credit company.
Students will be given the opportunity to be heard regarding any special circumstances. Such circumstances will be given full and fair consideration, and exceptions to the returned check policy may be granted by the Director of the Business Office or a delegated employee, based on the evidence presented.
Student Service Fee: The student service fee is required at the rate of $12 per semester credit hour (not exceeding $108 per semester and $54 per summer session) and covers services at the University Health Center, the Intramural Program, the Student Life Support Programs, and the Extramural Programs. The fee provides admission to athletic events at Sam Houston State under the auspices of the Department of Athletics.

General Property Deposit. Each student is required to make a General Property Deposit of $10 which will remain with the University through his/her career here except as noted below. All charges for property losses, damages, and breakages in libraries or laboratories must be settled promptly. However, any unpaid current charges will be deducted from the deposit before a refund is made.
Refund of General Property Deposit. The General Property Deposit, less charges, will be returned to the student at the end of his/her career as a student. However, any General Property Deposit which remains without call for refund for a period of four years from the date of last attendance at this university shall be forfeited. The deposit will then become a part of, and operative to, the permanent use and purpose of the University Student Deposit Fund.
Refund policies were established by Senate Bill No. 604 of the 65th Legislature and adopted by the Board of Regents, Texas State University System, in August of 1977.
The University may refund tuition and fees paid by a sponsor, donor, or scholarship to the source rather than directly to the student who has withdrawn if the funds were made available through the University.
The student who officially withdraws from Sam Houston State University may be eligible for a refund of tuition and the specified fees, based upon the courses in which he/she is enrolled on the official date of withdrawal. Refunds are made in accordance with the following schedules:
Refund Schedule of Tuition and Fees
Fall and Spring Semesters
Before
the 1st class day 100%--Less $20.00 Matriculation Fee
1st class day through 5th class day 80%
6th class day through 10th class day 70%
11th class day through 15th
class day 50%
16th class day through 20th class day 25%
Thereafter
No refund
The above schedule assumes the student had paid his or her fees in full. A
different schedule applies to the installment payment plan participants--the
primary difference in the schedule being the requirement for the University to
compute the refund based on the assumption that the full amount of tuition and
fees have been collected. Therefore, it is possible, and probable, that a
student on the installment plan could owe more in tuition and fees than already
collected by the University. These extra amounts, if any, would be due and
payable before the student would be allowed to resign from the University.
Summer Sessions
Before the 1st class day 100%Less $20.00 Matriculation Fee
1st class day through 3rd class day 80%
4th class day through 6th class day 50%
Thereafter No refund
Class days are to be counted from the first class meeting of on campus daytime
courses as indicated in the Academic Calendar.
Dropping Courses
A student who submits a request to drop one or more courses from a schedule of
classes may be eligible for refunds. The refund schedule for dropping courses
is stated below. Class days are to be counted from the first class meeting of
on campus daytime courses as indicated in the Academic Calendar.
Fall and Spring Semesters Summer Sessions
First 12 class days 100% First 4 class days 100%
After 12th class day

NOTE: Class days are University class days,
not the number of days an individual class meets.
