Admission

The Application Procedure

1. Applications for admission may be obtained from the Office of Graduate Studies. An application form is also included within the Graduate Catalog. When completed, the form must be returned to the Office of Graduate Studies, Campus Box 8075, Idaho State University, Pocatello, Idaho 83209-0009.

 
2. Applicants applying as degree-seeking students must request that each institution at which they have taken any post-secondary work submit one official transcript directly to the Office of Graduate Studies. Idaho State University undergraduate transcripts are available to the Office of Graduate Studies and need not be forwarded by the applicant.

 
3. Applicants must include a $35 non-refundable application fee with the application form. Students who do not pay the required application fee for admission may not register for courses.

 
4. Some programs require additional information (e.g., letters of recommendation); please review individual departmental sections of this catalog for additional requirements.

 
5. Please see additional requirements for degree-seeking, last semester seniors, and international students under those headings on the following pages.

 
6. The applicant must clearly indicate the graduate program desired on the application form, or if a non-degree-seeking student, the college and department in which the student intends to take courses.

 

Application Deadline

Notification of Admission

Admission to Graduate Studies allows a student to enroll in graduate courses in the specified department and college. It does not imply admission to courses in other departments. Only those admitted as degree-seeking students may assume that they are permitted to seek an advanced degree in the discipline/department which approved the admission. Non-degree-seeking students who are admitted are permitted to take courses in the department which admitted them, but this does not imply they will later be approved for admission as a degree-seeking student.

Re-Enrollment or Re-Admission of Graduate Students

Graduate students who fail to enroll during the two year period or more restrictive period of the department must reapply for admission. Graduate students who fail to enroll for two years after an initial enrollment are dropped from admission to Graduate Studies and are required to submit a completed application form. Students who were previously admitted to Graduate Studies are required to pay the application fee if they fail to enroll for over five years.

Registration

Restricted Registration

Registration without Permission

Classifications of Graduate Students

Classified Students

Conditional Students

Conditional status also may be used by a department for students whose credentials do not meet specific departmental requirements. Conditional students must adhere to regulations established by the Graduate Council. The following criteria must be met by the student before the Conditional status can be changed to Classified:

1. The student must complete at least nine credits and maintain a 3.0 GPA or better;

 
2. If the GRE (or GMAT/MAT) was not taken by the student at the time of admission as a Conditional student, the student must take the GRE (or GMAT/MAT) the first semester of Conditional status.

 

1. At any time after meeting of the above criteria a student may initiate an Approval for Change of Student Status in the Office of Graduate Studies. However, the department/college may also initiate the change and should do so by written request when the student has met the required criteria. The department/college also has the option of requesting the change to Classified status before the student has completed nine credits.

 
2. If the student's credentials at the time of the request for change in status to Classified reveal a GPA of less than 3.0 for all upper division credits taken at the undergraduate level, regardless of the institution at which the credits were earned, and GRE or MAT scores lower than the 35th percentile for each of the aptitude sections (Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical), then admission to Classified status must be approved by the Graduate Council.

 
3. The change from Conditional to Classified status must be approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

 

Unclassified Students

Admission Requirements For Degree-Seeking Students

1. A baccalaureate degree from a college or university accredited in the United States or its equivalent from a school in another country.

 
2. An earned grade point average of at least 3.0 or higher for all upper division credits taken at the undergraduate level, regardless of the institution at which the credits were earned, for those seeking a master's degree. In the case of those students who have not completed the baccalaureate degree, the grade point average shall be recalculated on all upper division credits once the bachelor's degree is completed. Please see individual department sections for GPA requirements for doctoral programs.

 
3. Degree-seeking applicants must submit official scores on the aptitude portion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT), of the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) as appropriate (see departmental sections). To register for the GRE, contact either the Educational Testing Service, Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540, or the ISU Counseling and Testing Center (208)236-2130. Students applying for admission to programs in the College of Education or the Department of Counseling may submit MAT scores in lieu of the GRE. To register for the MAT contact the ISU Counseling and Testing Center . Some departments may admit degree-seeking students on a Conditional basis without submission of test scores. However, in such cases, the test must be taken in the first semester or summer session of enrollment. Applicants who have achieved at least the 35th percentile in one of the aptitude sections of the GRE (Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical), or the 35th percentile on the MAT are eligible for admission as degree-seeking students if the earned grade point average for all upper division credits taken at the undergraduate level is 2.0 or higher. GRE/GMAT/MAT scores are used for other purposes in addition to admission. Most departments/colleges also use these scores as part of the criteria for awarding graduate assistantships, fellowships, or scholarships. Other parts of the campus also may use these scores in the process of awarding scholarships. Students at Idaho State University may take these tests at the Counseling and Testing Center. Special study sessions are available at the university in the Academic Skills Center (208)236-3662 to aid the student in preparing for the GRE/GMAT.

 
4. Approval by the department or college offering the desired degree program. Please see individual department sections of this catalog for additional requirements.

 
5. Approval by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

 

Admission Requirements For Non-Degree-Seeking Students

1. A baccalaureate degree from a college or university accredited in the United States or its equivalent from a school in another country.

 
2. Proof of graduation must be shown by evidence of a degree. Students must submit one of the following: copy of an unofficial transcript showing proof of degree, copy of the diploma, copy of Idaho Teacher Certification, or a letter from an appropriate college or university official.

 
3. A properly completed application form which includes signing an agreement that the applicant will provide evidence that he/she holds a baccalaureate degree.

 
4. International students do not qualify for Unclassified status.

 

Admission Requirements for Professional Development Students (597 Courses)

1. Students may enroll in professional development courses offered under the 597 number without the necessity of being admitted to Graduate Studies. However, they must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution at the time they enter the class or receive special permission from the Dean of Graduate Studies if they are last semester seniors.

 
2. The credits earned will not count toward an advanced degree nor may they be petitioned to count at a later date.

 
3. There is no limit to the number of 597 credits which a student may earn.

 
4. All instructors of 597 courses must have an advanced degree.

 
5. Students must certify for each 597 course for which they enroll that they possess a baccalaureate degree and agree to the conditions by which they are permitted to register for the course.

 
6. Students who have not been admitted previously to Graduate Studies at Idaho State University will be classified as Unclassified, Master's, Professional Development students. They will not be permitted to register for any graduate level courses except 597 courses unless they apply for admission and are accepted into Graduate Studies.

 
7. Students who have been admitted into Graduate Studies are permitted to take 597 courses but must register for these courses by signing the special registration form in addition to the regular procedures for registration.

 
8. Departments shall determine if and when professional development courses are to be offered with their prefix.

 

Admission of International Students

In addition to the admission requirements listed previously, international students must meet the following conditions:

1. International students must submit a financial statement to the Office of Admissions verifying that they will be able to support themselves financially for one year while attending Idaho State University. This must consist of a statement or letter from a bank indicating that funds are available and accessible. The amount of money available to the student must be listed on the financial statement. A graduate assistantship or fellowship awarded by a department or college may be used as part of this amount.

 
2. International students who have not graduated from an accredited college or university in the United States and whose native language is not English, normally must achieve satisfactory scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Specifically, students must achieve a total score of 550 and a score of 55 on Section l (Listening Comprehension). Information about the TOEFL test, including test dates and locations in foreign countries, can be obtained from the Educational Testing Service, Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540. Registration forms must reach Princeton at least five weeks before the test is taken. PHOTOCOPIES OF TOEFL SCORES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

 
3. International students may not enter the United States for graduate study without a U.S. Immigration (I-20) form. This form will be supplied by the International Admissions Clerk in the Office of Admissions after a department or college chooses to accept a student and items l and 2 above are met in addition to the admission requirements listed previously. International students are urged to remain in their own countries until they receive notice of acceptance.

 
4. International students transferring from a school within the United States must be "IN STATUS" with Immigration and Naturalization Services to be issued an I-20 form from ISU. A transfer form will be sent after the application has been received, to be completed as verification of acceptable immigration status.

 

Admission of Last-Semester Seniors

Doctoral Programs

Course Levels, Credits, and Grading

Course Levels

Activities Instructors May Require to Meet the "Additional Work" Requirement to Receive Graduate Credit in Those Courses Offered as g300 and g400:

The Graduate Council expects instructors to require specific work to be done in a graduate level course to justify graduate credit being given. This is particularly true for courses which may be used to count toward a degree. In those courses designated at the g300 or g400 level, for students to receive graduate credit (500 level courses) specific and evaluated activities and performances must be identified. Listed below are a suggested list of activities which an instructor may use to meet this requirement.

1. An additional scholarly activity such as:

 
1. term paper(s)

 
2. substantive report(s) which may be one of the following: survey, analysis and report; laboratory investigation and report; library research and report

 
3. attendance at a significant regional or national meeting with an analysis and report

 
2. Classroom activities that are beyond that required of undergraduates and are evaluated.

 
1. special presentation of some subject

 
2. provision of leadership on discussion of some significant topic in the classroom

 
3. any other classroom activity which is evaluated and not required of undergraduates

 
3. Examinations. Special examinations which are different from those given to undergraduates and are more demanding than those given to undergraduates. Such exams may be those which require greater performance at the higher cognitive levels such as interpretation, synthesis and evaluation.

Credits

A credit hour in graduate courses requires:

1. 50 minutes in class each week for 16 weeks (or equivalent in summer sessions and in courses offered in special formats), or

 
2. Approximately two and one-half hours in laboratory work each week for 16 weeks (or equivalent).

 

Students who, because of exceptional circumstances, want to take more than the maximum number of credits, must request permission in person from the Dean of Graduate Studies. They must also have support in writing from the graduate program director or chairperson of their department.

Thesis or dissertation credits are not awarded to the student until after completion and final approval by the examining committee. At this time, the advisor reports a grade of S or U for all previous thesis registrations. The student may register for thesis credits any semester she/he is enrolled as a degree-seeking student, subject to the approval of the department chair or program director, but the letters IP (in progress) are recorded on the transcript in place of a grade for all such registrants until final approval is obtained. The student who wishes to continue work on thesis credits shown on earlier registrations without registration is free to do so.

Workshop and Special Course Credits

Grading

All thesis and dissertation credits and some research courses are graded on a satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (U) basis. Departments/colleges may grade additional graduate courses with the S/U system with approval of the Graduate Council. IP (in progress) grades may be given for those students who have initiated but not completed their thesis, dissertation, or research work. No graduate courses will be offered on a Pass/No Pass (P/NP) basis.

Students may repeat a course in which they received a grade lower than an A. In such cases, the last grade received shall be the grade of record.

Incomplete Grades

A change of grade form must be submitted by the faculty member or the Incomplete will become permanent. The instructor must submit a Course Completion Contract along with the grade report for that class. The Course Completion Contract must be signed by the student and the instructor stipulating the assignment(s) required to finish the course within the allowable time period. A copy of the Contract is to be given to the student, a copy retained by the instructor, and the original copy attached to the course grade report and sent to the Registrar's Office.

In extreme circumstances only will a student be allowed an extension of time beyond one calendar year for removal of an Incomplete. An "Extension of Time for Removal of Incomplete" card must be completed and filed with the Registrar's Office within the one calendar year period for this extension to be official.

To receive credit for a course in which an Incomplete grade has become a permanent grade, the entire course must be repeated.

Petitions to deviate from this policy will not be allowed.

Transfer of Credits

Master's Degrees

Intra-institutional Transfer

Transfer of Credits from One Program to Another. There are no limits to the number of credits which may be applied toward a master's degree program which were originally awarded in a different degree program if a) the student was not awarded a degree in the original program and b) the department approves the transfer of such credits and the courses taken meet the requirements for the degree approved by the Graduate Council. There are no limitations with respect to electives which exceed the requirement for the degree.

Departments and/or colleges may allow students to apply up to nine semester credit hours earned at ISU to two master's degrees.

Doctoral Programs

Residency/Correspondence Courses

Residency

Correspondence Courses

Time Limits

Master's and Educational Specialist Degrees

Doctoral Degrees

The comprehensive examination is the method of assessing whether the student has attained sufficient knowledge of the discipline and supporting fields in order to undertake the independent research or practice. It is expected that the examination will occur after all course work has been completed and language or other requirements satisfied, and it consists of a series of examinations covering all areas specified in the plan of study.

Because the comprehensive examination attests to the academic competence of the student who is about to become an independent researcher or practitioner, the examination should not precede the degree by too long a period of time. Consequently, doctoral candidates are allowed no more than five years in which to complete remaining degree requirements. In the event a student fails to complete the doctorate within five years after passing the comprehensive examination, an extension of time can be obtained only by: a) The student getting a specified set of requirements from the student's committee which states in writing what must be done to make the candidate up-to-date in the discipline. These new requirements for obtaining an extension may include the necessity to repeat parts or all of the comprehensive examination; b) The student must then submit a petition to the Graduate Council for the extension and provide the written documents showing the additional requirements established by the student's committee justifying the requested extension.

Out-of-Date Credits

Advisors & Examining Committees

Usually, when a student is admitted to graduate study, a temporary advisor is assigned. In some cases, the department chairperson or graduate program director serves in this capacity for all incoming graduate students. The student, following departmental procedures and regulations, then selects a permanent advisor who will be responsible for helping the student to finalize the program of study.

For most degree options, a second member is selected from the student's department to serve on the examining committee with final approval by the Dean of Graduate Studies. (In some programs of study, more than one departmental faculty member, in addition to the advisor, serves on the examining committee.) A third member of the examining committee, called the Graduate Faculty Representative (GFR) is appointed by the Dean of Graduate Studies from outside the student's department. The GFR must be a member of the Graduate Faculty and may not be selected from a separate discipline within a yoked department. The GFR is the representative of the Office of Graduate Studies on the examining committee and is responsible for reporting the results of graduate examinations to the Dean of Graduate Studies. The Office of Graduate Studies welcomes suggestions from the student regarding candidates for the GFR.

Conflict of Interest of Graduate Faculty

Procedure for Changing a Major Advisor

1. The student must submit to the academic unit head or graduate program director, as appropriate, a written request for change of major advisor. It shall contain the rationale on which the request is based and may, if the student wishes, propose a specific replacement.

 
2. If the unit head/program director and the current advisor accept the rationale, and if an appropriate new advisor acceptable to the student is secured, the unit head/program director will submit the proposed new appointment to the Dean of Graduate Studies for approval.

 
3. Should the unit head/program director or the current major advisor not agree to the proposed change and the conditions thereof, and if no compromise acceptable to all parties can be reached, the matter shall be arbitrated by the unit graduate faculty (or its designated committee). Such arbitration may need to consider the question of ownership of data from research already undertaken by the student under the major advisor's supervision, similarly whether another appropriately specialized major advisor is available for the student. The unit head/program director will notify the Dean of Graduate Studies of the decision reached by the department graduate faculty or its designated committee.

 
4. Any appeal of the department's decision by the student shall be directed to the Dean of Graduate Studies.

 

Program of Study, Candidacy, Application for a Degree

Final Program of Study

If the requirements for the degree or certificate being sought change during a student's program, the student is entitled to follow those requirements in effect at the time of admission, or the student may elect to follow the new requirements.

Candidacy for Doctoral Degrees

Students seeking doctoral degrees must submit a final Program of Study form to the Office of Graduate Studies upon completion of examinations, but no later than the semester immediately preceding the semester in which they intend to graduate. The final Program of Study form will list all requirements that must be completed in order to receive the doctoral degree.

Application For a Degree

Degree applicants must submit all official transcripts before applying for a degree. Official transcripts to be used for transfer of credits into a degree program must be received before the application for a degree will be approved.

Applications for degrees will not be approved without the prior approval of a final Program of Study form.

Graduate Student Participation in Classified or Proprietary Research

Library Privileges

Examinations

All examinations must be completed at least two weeks before the end of a semester or summer session in which the student plans to graduate. All graduate requirements must be completed prior to or at the end of the semester or summer session during which final examinations are held. Students writing theses or dissertations are given final oral examinations. Others are usually given both written and oral examinations. Doctoral students are required to take written examinations at various times prior to the final examination (see doctoral program descriptions). Doctoral oral examinations are open to all regular members of the faculty as observers. These examinations are not open to non-faculty without permission of the Dean of Graduate Studies.

The student passes the exam if a majority of the committee so votes. Otherwise, the student fails the final exam. For students failing the final exam, the Graduate Studies Office allows one re-examination. This re-examination is to take place during the subsequent three (3) semesters unless otherwise approved by the Office of Graduate Studies. If the academic unit involved has a formal re-examination policy, that policy supersedes the Graduate Studies Office re-examination policy.

If the candidate's program requires a thesis, copies in substantially final form shall be in the hands of the examining committee at least two weeks before the date scheduled for the oral examination. Oral examinations are to be held at least two weeks prior to the date of graduation. If any member questions whether or not the substance or form of the thesis or dissertation is adequate, the committee as a whole decides if the thesis is sufficiently prepared for an oral examination. The major advisor is responsible for reporting a grade to the Registrar for all prior thesis registrations of the candidate when the thesis has been approved by the examining committee.

After the successful defense of a thesis/dissertation/DA scholarly activity, the student must submit all appropriate documents to the Office of Graduate Studies within two weeks. Failure to do so may delay graduation. If the required documents are not submitted within one year, the Dean of Graduate Studies may declare the defense void and require that it be repeated.

A manual with detailed instruction for thesis/dissertation preparation and clearance (Instructions for Preparing Theses, Dissertation, DA Papers, and Professional Projects) is available from the Office of Graduate Studies.

If the candidate's program requires no thesis, the department or college is responsible for having a written examination on the degree program prepared and administered. If the student's performance is judged to be satisfactory or if it is determined that deficiencies may be cleared up during the oral examination, the examining committee conducts the oral examination on the scheduled date. Otherwise, the student may be expected to complete subsequent requirements before the oral examination is held. Oral examinations for non-thesis students must also be completed two weeks prior to the date of graduation.

Petitions

A student would use the petition form to petition for:

1. withdrawal from courses after the deadline for withdrawal as stated in the University Calendar.

 
2. use of credits more than eight years old to count towards a master's degree.

 
3. transfer of credits from unclassified to classified status.

 
4. transfer of more than 30% of credits required for a degree from unclassified to classified status.

 
5. transfer of more than nine credits from another institution to a master's degree program at Idaho State University.

 
6. an extension of the maximum time (eight years) allowed for completion of a master's degree or educational specialist certificate.

 
7. an extension of the maximum time (five years) allowed for completion of a doctoral degree after comprehensive examinations have been passed.

 
8. correction of errors or inaccuracies on the student's official transcript.

 
9. any other deviation from Graduate Studies policy listed in this catalog.

 

1. appeals of a grade or of dismissal from a program. See the section on Appeals in this Catalog.

 
2. substitutions of courses within degree requirements or waivers of degree requirements. Exceptions to degree requirements are requested as a part of the approval process for the Program of Study form.

 

Withdrawal or Dismissal

Students receiving letters of dismissal will automatically be dropped from all graduate courses, regardless of whether they choose to appeal, and will receive a full refund of fees. A "W" grade will then be entered on the transcript for all graduate courses not completed. Students receiving dismissal letters after the 10th day of classes may petition the Dean of Graduate Studies for permission to complete the graduate courses in which they are enrolled. Students who appeal the dismissal will be blocked from registration for further graduate courses during the appeals process itself. See also the section of this catalog entitled "Appeal of Dismissal."

A graduate student may be dismissed from a graduate program by a department/college according to the policy described in the Appeal of Dismissal section.

Appeals of Grade or Dismissal

Graduate students who wish to appeal a grade must use the following procedural format. Appeal of a grade must be made
within one semester following the posting of the grade. Grades earned in the spring semester that are to be appealed need not be appealed during the summer, but the appeals process must be initiated in the following fall semester. Faculty members who are overruled in the appeals process are entitled to the same sequence of appeal as the graduate students. The Office of Graduate Studies encourages resolution of appeals at the lowest possible level.

Step 1:

The Class Instructor. When a student receives a grade that is judged by that student to be unjustifiably low, the first step in the appeals process is to discuss the matter with the instructor of the class. This may be done informally but if the student plans to proceed up the line of appeal, a formal statement must be prepared in accordance with the format presented in the Protocol for Appeals shown below. This statement must specify what, in the student's mind, would constitute a fair redress of the grievance. If the instructor agrees that the student was erroneously graded, the grade is changed using standard procedures. If the instructor stands by the original decision, the case may be taken to the department chairperson. In such an instance, the instructor must prepare a statement explaining the reasons for the grade.

Step 2:

The Department Chairperson. The chairperson of the department in which the appealed grade was received is to review the student's written statement and the instructor's written rationale for the grade. The chairperson should interview the student and the instructor and may conduct whatever additional investigation is deemed appropriate to help in the decision-making process. The chairperson must render a decision within two weeks of receipt of the appeal.

If the chairperson sustains the decision of the instructor, the appeal may be taken to the dean of the college. If the department chairperson chooses to overrule the instructor, the grade must be adjusted and the chairperson may adjust the grade. It is possible to negotiate the adjusted grade. If the student remains dissatisfied with the adjustment, the appeal may still be taken to the dean of the college. Regardless of the decision, the chairperson must prepare a statement, in writing, that explains the reason for the decision. If the appeal is taken to the dean, the chairperson's statement must accompany the student's appeal and the instructor's statement.

Step 3:

The Dean of the College. The dean of the college is next to be contacted in the appeals process. The dean is to appoint an impartial committee of faculty members who will review all written documentation pertaining to the case. This appeals committee should interview both the student and the instructor and may conduct any other investigation deemed necessary. The appeals committee, which is advisory to the dean, must submit a written statement of its decision. The dean's decision is also to be tendered in writing. The committee's deliberation and the dean's decision must be completed within three weeks of receipt of the appeal in the dean's office. If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the committee, the appeal may be taken to the Graduate Council.

Step 4:

The Graduate Council. At the request of the student, the Graduate Council will review all prior documentation and render a decision within three weeks of receipt of the appeal. The Dean of Graduate Studies and/or the Graduate Council may interview the student and instructor or carry out any other investigation deemed necessary to assist in the decision-making process. Once the decision is made, it is final and will be implemented by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Protocol for Appealing a Grade

Appeal of Dismissal from a Graduate Program

Dismissal Policy

1. If the student fails to meet the continuation standards of the department (including conditions stated on the Approval for Admission form), or

 
2. If it is the academic judgment of two-thirds of the graduate faculty in the department that the student is not making satisfactory progress in the program, and such judgment is recorded by formal vote.

 

Procedures for the Appeal of Dismissal

1. The student must request reconsideration in writing using the Protocol for Appealing Dismissal from a Graduate Program which is described below.

 
2. A majority of the graduate faculty of the department must meet within 15 days of the filed appeal and must decide by a 2/3 vote of those present to sustain the dismissal, or the dismissal is revoked. If necessary, the meeting of the graduate faculty may include those participating by telephone or videoconference. Should it prove impossible during the Summer to convene a majority of the graduate faculty, the department is required to assemble them in the first week they are on contract in the Fall semester. In such instance, if the student chooses to appeal the department's graduate faculty decision, the Dean of the College and the Graduate Council will attempt to expedite the procedure described below.

 
3. Either decision (revoke or sustain) is to be explained in writing to the student. Copies of this decision and explanation should be sent to the Dean of Graduate Studies.

 
4. If the department upholds the dismissal, the student may appeal the decision to the dean of the college. The student must appeal to the dean of the college within 15 working days of the notification of the department's decision.

 
5. If the dismissal is revoked, the department chairperson shall notify in writing the student and the Dean of Graduate Studies, and the student shall be reinstated.

 

1. If the student appeals to the dean of the college, then the dean must do the following: a. Read the student's written statement. b. Read the written decision and explanation of the graduate faculty. c. The dean may interview the student or the graduate faculty in the department or conduct any other appropriate investigation that may aid in the decision-making process. d. The dean must consider the appeal within 15 working days of the student's filed appeal and must decide to either revoke or sustain the dismissal.

 
2. Dean Overrule. If the dismissal is revoked, the dean must state in writing the reasons for the overrule and notify the student, the department, and the Dean of Graduate Studies, and the student shall be reinstated. The graduate faculty of the department may appeal the dean's decision to the Graduate Council.

 
3. Dean Sustains Dismissal. If the dean sustains the decision to dismiss, he/she must notify in writing the student, the department, and the Dean of Graduate Studies.

 

1. The student may appeal to the Graduate Council if the dean of the college sustains the dismissal. The student must appeal to the Graduate Council within 15 working days of the notification of the dean's decision. This appeal must be in writing.

 
2. The Graduate Council must consider the appeal within 15 working days of the student's notification of appeal. This review should include copies of documents prepared in Step 1 and Step 2 of the appeals process.

 
3. The Dean of Graduate Studies and/or the Graduate Council may interview the student, graduate faculty, or college dean to secure whatever information might be deemed necessary to aid in the review.

 
4. The Council's decision to revoke or sustain the dismissal is final.

 
5. The Council's decision is to be prepared in writing, and with all other documentation, kept in the student's file.

 
6. The Dean of Graduate Studies must notify in writing the student, department, and college dean of the decision.

 
7. If the decision is to revoke the dismissal, the Dean of Graduate Studies must reinstate the student in the program.

 

Protocol for Appealing Dismissal From a Graduate Program

Academic Dishonesty

Whenever a faculty member suspects a graduate student of academic dishonesty, the instructor should present the evidence to the student and consider the student's response. If the instructor concludes after consultation with the student that academic dishonesty has indeed occurred, the instructor should write a letter to the chairperson of the department in which the student is seeking a graduate degree, describing the incident. The instructor should include with the letter any evidence used to draw the conclusion that academic dishonesty has occurred (e.g., copies of the student's written assignment, copies of documents thought to have been plagiarized, etc.), and should state clearly the penalty imposed within the course itself. The penalty should be in proportion to the severity of the offense. If the penalty is to be a failing grade, the instructor should first consult with the chairperson of the department, and the chairperson should meet jointly with the student and faculty member to review the incident. The student may appeal the penalty by following the procedures in the Graduate Catalog entitled "Appeal of a Grade."

A copy of the instructor's letter reporting the offense, along with any evidence submitted to the chairperson, should be sent to the student, to the dean of the college in which the student is seeking a graduate degree, and to the Dean of Graduate Studies. A copy of the letter is to be placed in the student's permanent file in the department and in the Office of Graduate Studies. If the student is exonerated during the appeals process, however, the letter and all other records of the accusation of academic dishonesty are to be deleted from the student's files.

The department chairperson may, in accordance with the policy and procedures of the department, impose the penalty of dismissal from the program. A student may appeal the dismissal by following the procedures in the Graduate Catalog entitled "Appeal of Dismissal from a Graduate Program."

Interdisciplinary Degrees

Hazardous Waste Management (Interdisciplinary Studies)

Students entering this program are also required to have successfully completed at least 30 total credit hours of courses in engineering, physics, chemistry, geology, biology, pharmaceutical sciences or mathematics. Specifically, students must have successfully completed coursework equivalent to ISU MATH 120 (Essentials of Calculus) and ISU CHEM 121/122 (General Chemistry). Grades of "C" or better must be recorded to count toward these requirements. Students may be granted conditional acceptance based on their willingness to complete one or two missing courses as deficiencies, if they are close to meeting the admissions requirements. Such acceptance is left up to the discretion of the individual departments/colleges.

Students must also obtain admission from two academic departments/disciplines. Admission requirements vary between departments, and there may be departmental requirements beyond those of the Office of Graduate Studies which the student must fulfill to gain departmental admission.

Within the framework of the basic degree requirements, an advisory committee is chosen to work with the student to create an individualized program of study. The advisory committee consists of two ISU faculty advisors, one from each of the two listed departments. The faculty member in the primary department acts as the student's major advisor and provides direction to the student regarding all relevant aspects of the program. The committee should assist the student in selecting courses appropriate for the program of study. An initial program of study must be developed and submitted to the Hazardous Waste Management Council (HWM) for approval no later than the second semester of enrollment. Changes in the initial program may be made with the approval of the major advisor. The final program of study is submitted to the HWM Council for graduation clearance. A Graduate Faculty Representative is appointed to the student's committee in the final term of study to monitor and participate in the final comprehensive exam or thesis defense.

The objective of the Interdisciplinary Studies program in Hazardous Waste Management is to allow the student to combine courses in Hazardous Waste Management with related courses in areas of primary interest. At least 30 credits are required for the degree, of which at least 15 must be at the 600 level. At least 10 credits must be completed within each of the two listed departments, with the remainder of the course work representing the Hazardous Waste Management required and elective course work. No more than 9 credits may be transferred from another university, with the exception of courses cross-listed with the University of Idaho, which will be accepted as resident credits. Thesis and non-thesis options are available for the degree. A maximum of 10 credits of research and thesis may be counted toward the degree; these credits may apply towards the 15 credits at the 600-level requirement. There are specific program-wide and department-specific requirements for the thesis and non-thesis option. Students should confer closely with their advisory committee members in deciding the most appropriate option.

Department/academic disciplines participating in the program include: Biological Sciences, Business, Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, Mathematics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Physics, Political Science, and Occupational Education (Occupational Training Management).

Currently a number of the Hazardous Waste Management courses are being offered only in Idaho Falls, although efforts are made to provide instruction to Pocatello students as often as possible via the telecommunications system. Many courses are instructed during evening hours. Due to these factors and the interdisciplinary nature of the program, it may be anticipated that completion of the M.S. degree may take longer than for other "traditional" M.S. degrees.

Required Courses

Elective Courses

Students, together with their advisory committee, should choose courses from the following electives which will complement departmental courses in each of their chosen areas and strengthen their degree program.

Special Requirements Department of Biological Sciences:

All students choosing this option will be required to complete Hazardous Waste Management Problems BIOS 581, an independent study course.

College of Engineering:

Students who have insufficient background to complete the engineering course work included in the program of study will be required to take the engineering bridge course, ENGR 501.

Department of Political Science:

Master of Natural Science

l. Meet the requirements for admission to the Teacher Education Program at ISU including:
 

EDUC 200

1 cr

 
2. Complete or take equivalent courses in:
 

HE 200	2 cr
SPED 200	2 cr
FCS 200	2 cr
EDUC 323	3 cr
EDUC 333	3 cr
EDUC 343	3 cr

 
Therefore, if a student enters a M.N.S. program with no equivalent coursework in education, the student must take these 16 additional credits in addition to 30 graduate credits in the discipline to receive the M.N.S. degree. This leaves 12-19 credits, including student teaching, to be completed to receive certification in Idaho. Candidates must complete a program of study in one, two, or three of the areas listed. The committee designing the program of study, in consultation with the student, should be comprised of members from each department involved plus a graduate faculty representative. Requirements include completion of a prescribed program of study of at least 30 credits at the graduate level approved by a departmental committee selected by the student in consultation with the student's major professor and approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies and satisfactory performance on final written and oral examinations. If the student's teaching background is considered to be dated or deficient, a pedagogical component approved by the committee may be included. Pedagogical credits are beyond the 30 hours minimum required in subject matter course work. Courses to be counted toward the degree must be g-designated 300-400 level courses or at the 600 level. At least 22 credits must be taken in residence.

Any person who is not a citizen of the United States of American, who does not have permanent or temporary resident status or does not hold "refugee-parolee" or "conditional entrant" status with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service or is not otherwise permanently residing in the U.S. under color of the law and who does not also meet and comply with all applicable requirements for establishing residency as covered under these provisions.

Establishing a New Domicile in Idaho

The establishment of a new domicile in Idaho by a person formerly domiciled in another state has occurred if such person is physically present in Idaho primarily for purposes other than educational and can show satisfactory proof that such person is without a present intention to return to such other state or to acquire a domicile at some other place outside of Idaho. In determining whether a student is domiciled in the state of Idaho primarily for purposes other than educational, Idaho State University shall consider, but shall not be limited to the following factors:

Registration and payment of Idaho taxes or fees on a motor vehicle, mobile home, travel trailer, or other item of personal property for which state registration and the payment of a state tax or fee is required.
 

• Filling of Idaho state income tax returns.

Refund Policy

The Refund Policy applies to all for-credit classes regardless of location of the class.

All fee refunds will be paid by University check.
 
When any student enrolled in for-credit classes withdraws from Idaho State University or makes schedule changes that reduce the fee obligation, refunds are made on the following basis:

General University Fees Paid Without Use of A Fee Reduction Program:

Refunds are calculated and authorized by the Office of Financial Services. The drop/withdrawal date is the actual date the drop or withdrawal form is received by an authorized University office or automated system.

Refunds of registration charges for full-time fees, part-time credit hour fees, nonresident tuition, professional program fees, and departmental fees are calculated on the total amount of fees paid, using the first official day of the University semester or session as the starting date.

First time students at ISU who receive Federal Financial Aid may have their refund determined on a pro-rated basis per Federal Guidelines

Percentage refund of computed base:

Academic Semester:
 

Before and during the first week of classes  (less a registration processing charge of $10.00)	100%
During the second week of classes	75%
During third and fourth week of classes	50%
After the fourth week	No Refunds

 
For classes, seminars and workshops with non-standard starting and ending dates, refund requests are reviewed on an exception basis. The starting and ending dates are those designated by the University Registrar.

Non-Refundable Fee Charges/Payments:

1. The State Board of Education authorized reduced fee charges. (Examples include but are not limited to faculty/staff reduced fee, senior citizen reduced fee, education contract classes, etc.)

 
2. Late processing charges

 
3. Any amounts paid to satisfy fees/charges due from previous terms.

 
4. Amounts paid for student health insurance and student malpractice insurance.

 

In specific cases, as listed below, a full refund of the registration fee, credit hour fee, nonresident tuition and professional fees will be granted following official withdrawal from school, provided the withdrawal process is completed during the first half of the semester or session (i.e., first eight weeks of a semester, first four weeks of a session). Proper documentation must be presented and approval granted by the offices of Student Affairs and Financial Services before the refund will be processed.

1. Induction of the student into the U.S. armed forces.

 
2. Incapacitating illness or injury which prevents the student from returning to school for the remainder of the term. A medical withdrawal must be processed through the University Student Health Center.

 
3. Death of a student.

 
4. Death of spouse, child, parent, or legal guardian of student.

 

The University reserves the right to deduct from refunds any amounts due the University. Refunds of actual fees for the term, less any remaining fee loan balances for the term, are used to offset financial aid awarded as prioritized below:

1. Agency authorizations for payment of actual fees.

 
2. University authorizations specifically for the payment of fees (i.e., graduate teaching assistant, athletics, etc.)

 
3. Federal aid programs (see Financial Aids Handbook for priority).

 
4. Miscellaneous outstanding balances due the University.

 
5. University loan programs.

 
6. University and donor scholarship programs.

 
7. Balance to student.

 

A check for the balance is mailed to the home address of the student with an itemized statement of deductions.

Refund checks are not processed until four weeks after the start of the term or until at least three weeks after the actual date of payment for the term.

Registration Refund Appeals:

Contact the Dean of Student Affairs or the University Controller for information on the University registration fee refund appeal process. Appeals should be submitted in writing before the end of the term for which the student is appealing.

Room and Board Fees

Students who fail to complete their agreement with the Office of Residence Life will have their room and board fees pro-rated and, after appropriate penalties have been deducted, they may receive a refund. See the Terms and Conditions of Residence section of the On Campus Living Handbook for details of the Residence Hall and Apartment Agreements and the penalties for breaking these agreements.

Delinquent Accounts

Dishonored Check Policy

Any check tendered in payment of registration fees and subsequently returned by the bank will result in automatic postponement of the student's registration.

In the case of a check tendered in payment for room and board and subsequently returned by the bank, the student is notified immediately and allowed not more than five (5) days for the check to clear. If not cleared within that time, the student's meal ticket and/or room reservations is canceled.

Financial Support

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Assistantships and Fellowships

Only students admitted as regular Classified students are eligible to apply for a graduate assistantship or fellowship. Conditional and Unclassified students are not eligible to receive an assistantship. Because full-time graduate assistants are expected to work up to 20 hours per week, the maximum number of credits an assistant may earn in a given semester is 12. Normally, a full-time graduate assistant is expected to carry a minimum of nine credits, which is a full load. Permission to carry fewer than nine or more than 12 credits may be granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies upon written recommendation of the student's advisor or program director. DA fellows are expected to carry a minimum of 9 credits per semester. Permission to carry fewer than 9 or more than 16 credits may be granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies upon written recommendation of the student's advisor or program director.

Stipends for full-time graduate assistants and fellows range from $6809 (masters level) to $8884 (doctoral fellow) for nine months. Doctoral graduate assistants ordinarily receive higher stipends than those at the masters level. Full-time graduate assistants and fellows also may be awarded scholarships to cover in-state student fees and non-resident tuition.

A student with a graduate assistantship or fellowship may be employed by the university for compensation in addition to the awarded stipend. This employment may only occur with permission of the Dean of Graduate Studies and usually must be limited to 10 hours per week. Requests for permission for such employment must be sent in writing by the department chair or graduate program director to the Dean of Graduate Studies.

GraduateAssistantships(GA)

Graduate assistants who are international students, whose native language is not English, and who have been assigned to teach may be asked to complete an English speaking proficiency examination administered by the Office of Graduate Studies.

Normally, graduate assistants are involved in classroom instruction, supervision of laboratory sections, grading papers and/or examinations, assisting faculty members in research activities, or other equivalent duties.
