M.A. in Special Education
Special Student Status
Special Students are those who are either considering applying to the Special Education graduate program or who have applied and are awaiting review of their application status. Special Students may take up to two (2) Special Education graduate courses. Special Students must submit a copy of their undergraduate transcript for review by the Program Director and must obtain permission from the Program Director to register for any course. Students must complete their application for admission before registering for any additional courses. Permission to enroll in graduate courses as a Special Student does not guarantee an individual admission to the Special Education program, nor does it guarantee that all of the coures taken will be accepted in fulfillment of degree and/or licensure requirements. Upon a candidate's acceptance to the program, graduate courses are applied to the degree requirements as designated in writing by the Special Education Program Director in consultation with the faculty advisor.
An individual who is not seeking admission to the degree program must obtain written permission from the Special Education Program Director and the Dean of the Graduate School to take more than two (2) courses as a Special Student. Permission will be contingent upon the individual demonstrating prerequisite knowledge for courses requested.
