Program-specific Fees
Tuition waivers cover the cost of tuition only. Other university fees (e.g., network fee, technology fee, legal service fees) are the student’s responsibility.
In addition to University-related fees (see Graduate Tuition and Fees ), Clinical EXPH graduate students are also responsible for a program fee of $20 per credit hour.
Registration
All graduate students have access to the Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) prior to pre-registration for the following semester. The DARS indicates what courses have been completed and which requirements have yet to be fulfilled. To access this from the Ohio University homepage, click on the “MyOHIO Student Center.”
During your first semester of enrollment, the Program Director will clear you for registration. Because all University mailings are sent to local addresses, provide the Registrar’s Office (Chubb Hall) or the Office of Graduate Studies (Grosvenor Hall, 102) with your local address as soon as possible.

General Course Requirements
- Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in all graduate courses. A student earning less than 3.0 will be placed on academic probation the following semester and funding may be withdrawn. If the cumulative GPA is below 3.0 at the end of the next semester, you may be suspended for one year. You may reapply; however, you must be able to demonstrate the commitment to successfully complete a master’s degree program.
- All grades count toward your overall GPA, including repeated courses.
- No more than 12 hours of courses for credit only (CR) count towards graduation. All other credits counting towards graduation must be for a letter grade.
- Students must achieve a grade of C or better in any course to count toward graduation. No course with a grade below C (2.0) may be used to satisfy any graduate degree or certificate requirement. Taking a graduate-level course a second time does not remove or replace a grade from a previous attempt. The number of times a course can be retaken/repeated varies; check with your advisor to find out how many times a course can be retaken/repeated.
- Graduate courses may not be taken pass/fail.
- If significant progress has been made or circumstances prohibit the completion of work, the faculty member may assign a grade of PR if work cannot be completed by the end of the semester. The granting of a PR must be granted by the faculty member. A PR grade in any required course must be resolved before a degree can be awarded.
- The instructor may elect to submit an Incomplete (I) for work that has not been completed. “I” grades must be completed within 2 weeks into the next semester, or the grade will be automatically changed to an “F”.
- Permission to enroll in more than 18 hours in a specific semester must be obtained from the Graduate Chair. Additional fees will be assessed for registering for more than 18hours.
- The thesis option must be declared to the Graduate Coordinator. The research track requires minimum 33 hours of coursework which includes 7 hours dedicated to the completion of the thesis.
- The non-thesis option requires 33 and 34 credit hours for the Clinical and Human Performance track, respectively. Students in non-thesis option, must complete a critically appraised topic paper and presentation, an integrated (multi-class project with oral defense, or a comprehensive exam as their capstone outcome assessment.
- There is a 6-year time limit for all students to complete a master’s degree.
- Class attendance is expected for all students in all classes. Situations where one might miss class should be resolved beforehand with the class instructor. Class times and scheduled requirements for each class have priority over all other University functions. Excessive absence (even University-excused absences) as determined by the instructor may inhibit a student’s ability to successfully complete a course.
- The program of study outlined in the graduate catalog of a student’s entry date into the University is the program followed. Students should work closely with their advisors/ committees and the Graduate Program Coordinator to ensure that each semester they take the courses necessary to meet their graduation requirements.
-
Each graduate student must apply for graduation through the Graduation Application in My Ohio Student Center and pay the fee. The deadline to apply for graduation for any semester is typically within the first 30 days of the semester.
Clinical EXPH students wishing to walk in spring ceremonies will apply for spring graduation and then re-apply for summer graduation to complete their degree.
