JWMI Degree

The registrar's office will review students' degree conferral status when they are nearing the completion of their graduate program academic requirements. For most graduate degree students, this will be when they enroll in their capstone course, which by design is meant to be taken as the last or next-to-last course.

Degrees are conferred only after evaluation and approval by the registrar's office. Except as noted below, the following general requirements must be met in order to be evaluated by the registrar's office: 

1. Students must complete all 12 required courses for a total of 54 quarter credit hours of course work in the program at the graduate level (500 series or higher).
2. Students must complete course work with a minimum graduate program-specific grade point average of 2.5.
3. Students must complete a minimum of 36 quarter credit hours of course work in the program at the university.
4. Students must meet specified graduation requirements, including the quarter credit hour and course requirements within the degree program. Final responsibility for meeting graduation requirements lies with the student.
5. Complete with a grade of LP (2.5) or higher all courses in the student's concentration component area.
6. Complete with a grade of LP (2.5) or higher the identified capstone course for each program.
7. Complete with a grade of LP (2.5) or higher all assigned prerequisite courses.
8. All course work must be successfully completed within 10 years from initial term of attendance. This includes both course work taken at JWMI and course work taken elsewhere and transferred in.
