- All students must complete a minimum of 30 graduate credits.
- Graduate students must maintain a 3.00 grade point average.
- At least 21 credits must be earned in graduate courses that are not cross-listed with undergraduate courses, and of those 21 credits, at least 15 credits must be earned at the 7000-level. These credits must be included in the student’s program planning form.
- Courses in the 5000-6990 levels are open to graduate students for graduate credit, provided they have not previously taken the courses at the undergraduate level.
- No more than 12 credits can be transferred into a master’s degree program.
- Credits from other University of Wisconsin-Platteville graduate degree programs may be applied to a second graduate degree at UW-Platteville, please refer to the transfer credit policies for more details.
- Graduate students are allowed seven years from the date of admission into a master’s program to complete degree requirements.
- Graduate credits in which a grade lower than a C- has been earned will not be counted toward a degree; however, these lower grades will be reflected in the student’s grade point average.

Degree Progress
Graduate students who are inactive (non-registration) for one academic year after admission without successfully completing a course will be discontinued from their graduate program. Graduate students who have successfully completed a course (C- or better) may have one academic year of inactivity (non-registration) before they are discontinued from their graduate program. Students may reapply for admission to the same or another graduate program. After being readmitted, credits earned previously at UW-Platteville may only be applied to the student’s graduate program upon approval of the coordinator of the graduate program and the Provost Designee.
