Graduate w88 casino handbooks
All changes to w88 casino handbooks must be approved by the w88 casino School.If you are a w88 casino director and you wish to update an existing handbook or submit a new handbook for approval, please complete the change request form below.
The purpose of the graduate handbook is to provide guidance to both students and faculty for facilitating the progression of students to degree completion. The handbook should provide the necessary information for students to understand the requirements, expectations, and opportunities associated with both their specific graduate w88 casino and the Graduate School.
Outlined below is the template for the minimum required information for handbooks from all graduate programs. However, the handbook should also include any additional information deemed helpful or necessary by each graduate w88 casino. Information in boxes outline Graduate School policies that should be included in the handbook.

- Contact information for the w88 casino director and other relevant personnel
In this section, please include information on all requirements for degree completion, including:
- Total number of credits needed
- Course work (this should match the course listings in the most recent version of the University General Catalog. If the Catalog is out-of-date or otherwise inaccurate, you will need to make revisions using Curriculog) Hint: In searching the Catalog, choose “w88 casino” in upper search box and type the w88 casino name or w88 casino abbreviation in lower search box.
- List of required courses
- List of elective courses
- Any internships and/or clinical experiences that are part of the w88 casino (if applicable)

- Please refer to Nevada System of Higher Education CODE on Student w88 casino Dismissal Procedures (SPDP) and review conference policies: (NSHE CODE, Chapter 11, Sections 1-3). If w88 casino dismissal is based upon failure to maintain required grades or a required GPA as described above, SPDP does not apply and the student may be summarily dismissed from the graduate w88 casino.
These are credits transferred from another institution. Credits completed at UNR in another w88 casino or as a graduate special do not need to be transferred. Transfer credit can be requested on the w88 casino Credit Transfer Evaluation Request form available on the Graduate School website, and must be signed by the student, major advisor, and graduate director. Transfer credits applied to a master’s w88 casino must comply with the time limitation on master’s work (6 years). Thus, if a student took a course five years prior to admission, they would have to complete the degree within one year for the course to apply to the degree. Credits from a completed master’s degree will be exempt from the 8-year time limitation for those students pursuing a doctoral degree.
In this section, it would be helpful for students to have an “ideal” degree completion timeline. This section will likely vary considerably depending on the w88 casino. A good example is the timeline from the w88 live casino handbook (see “Standard Schedule” sections).
