In rare circumstances, there are program-specific courses that have been created for intensive practical/field-work settings in professional certification-oriented programs, namely the Doctor of Social Work program, that do carry a full-time status as well. The course numbers used are 9450, 9460, 9470, and 9480. Students in these programs must be finished with all other program requirements before enrolling in these courses that carry full-time status. These specific courses have been vetted and approved by the Registrar and Financial Aid offices due the specific curricular design related to the required intensive culminating experience. If such a need exists for another program at the institution, please present a course proposal via the Curriculum Inventory Management system requesting a course with one of the 9450, 9460, 9470 or 9480 numbers and include the appropriate justification.

Research Coursework Credit hour and Grading Requirements:
The number of credit hours the Research coursework varies with most of these courses carrying 0 or 1 credit hours. The faculty of the school decide upon the amount of credit for Research coursework when the program is created. Whether or not these courses carry credit is dependent upon professional accreditation requirements and curricular design generally. If the courses carry no credit, a 7 “Research No Credit” Grade mode is used and at the end of the semester an “R” research grade is posted automatically. If the courses carry credit, there must be faculty oversight and a faculty member must be assigned to each section. Further, the credit-bearing research courses must be assessed by the faculty member at the end of each term and assigned a final grade, typically a Pass or Fail, using the K “Research For Credit” Grade mode.
