 the supervisor of your program and will suggest courses for which you should
 register.
 6. Passing grades for graduate students in courses numbered below 500 are A and B;
 passing grades for courses numbered 500 and above are A, B, and C. However,
 C grades count toward a graduate degree if an equal number of credit hours
 in courses numbered 500 and above are earned with grade of A.
 7. No courses may be taken for graduate credit by correspondence. Up to six
 hours of approved credit may be transferred from accredited institutions to
 count on the requirements for masters' degrees. For the Master of Arts in
 Education and the Master of Education degrees, six hours of authorized ex-
 tension graduate courses may be taken for both course and residence credit.
 8. Observe the regulations and dates for satisfying the language requirements and
 for applying for admission to candidacy.
 9. Under the following conditions, the Graduate Council may vote to allow a stu-
 dent to complete requirements for his degree when not in residence: (1) if he
 has completed his residence requirement; (2) if he has completed his course
 requirements; (3) for candidates for thesis degrees, if he has submitted while
 in residence a draft of his thesis and obtained the approval of his supervisory
 committee on the substance of his thesis; and (4) if the supervisory committee
 recommends to the Graduate Council that the student be given the privilege
 of finishing and submitting the thesis in absentia. (Note that all conditions ap-
 plicable to a specific degree must be fulfilled.) In case this privilege is granted,
 it will be necessary for the student to complete in a satisfactory manner all
 the requirements for his degree, such as final oral examinations, etc., and be
 present at the commencement if the degree is conferred.
 10. Early in your last term before graduation, notify the Registrar that you are
 a candidate for a degree. (See Calendar for Last day for making application
 for a degree.)
 11. When you are ready to put the thesis in final form, get instructions at the office
 of the Dean of the Graduate School.
 12. Caps, gowns and hoods are worn at commencement exercises. Graduating stu-
 dents must arrange for proper sizes of academic costumes through the University
 Bookstore.
 13. Consult the professor of your major subject and your special supervisory com-
 mittee for guidance. Consult the office of the Dean of the Graduate School
 if you wish interpretation of any requirement.
