Senior
(undergraduate) Students: A Fort Hays State University
student in their final semester of undergraduate studies requiring
fifteen hours or fewer for the Bachelor's Degree may be allowed
to enroll in graduate classes with permission by their undergraduate
advisor and the Graduate Dean. Qualified students will be permitted
to register for no more than six semester hours of graduate courses
in conjunction with the undergraduate credit required to complete
the bachelor's degree.
Graduate courses taken to complete requirements
for the Bachelor's Degree may not be used subsequently to satisfy
requirements for a graduate degree. However, graduate courses not
applied to the baccalaureate degree may be applied toward a graduate
degree if approved by the academic department. Non-FHSU seniors
are not eligible for this option.
