Student Active Status Policy
Muskingum University abides by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended. All students have access to their education records on file with the University and have the right to challenge records they feel are inaccurate. Further information is available from the Registrar’s Office.
The University will communicate official information to the campus community via campus email and META. For this reason, all faculty, staff and students of the University are provided with campus email addresses which they are asked to check frequently and encouraged to enroll in META for updates and alerts. Computer and Network Services (CNS) is available to assist the campus community with the electronic communication system. Students should contact Graduate and Continuing Studies for information on activating their account.
Students conducting research projects involving the participation of human subjects must gain the approval of the Animal Care and Human Subjects (ACHS) committee prior to conducting their research. To obtain this authorization, students must submit the appropriate form to the ACHS committee. Refer to the forms available on the ACHS website to determine which is the appropriate form for your research.
Persons who wish to take coursework at Muskingum for purposes other than pursuing a degree or licensure may enroll as non-degree seeking continuing education students. This classification includes, but is not limited to, certified teachers seeking additional credits, persons taking coursework for personal enrichment, visiting students and students enrolled in continuing education workshops. Up to 9 semester hours of credit earned as a non-degree student may be counted toward a degree or licensure program.
Official copies of Muskingum University transcripts bearing the University seal and the Registrar’s signature are sent directly to schools or organizations upon the request of students or alumni. Individuals may also receive official copies of the transcript (which are stamped “Issued to Student”) following the same ordering process. Students may request transcripts here.
Currently enrolled students can obtain unofficial copies of their Muskingum University transcripts through the University’s online academic record system. Grades are recorded on transcripts at the end of each term. Students may request that transcripts be held until grades for the courses in which they are enrolled are recorded.
Transfer credit is awarded on a course-by-course basis for comparable graduate work completed with a grade of B or above at other regionally accredited colleges and universities. Each graduate program determines its own credit transfer policy, although University policy limits transfer credit to a maximum of nine semester hours of credit. Transfer credit is not included in calculation of the grade point average. All transfer credit completed before admission into the graduate program must be approved by appropriate Graduate Program Director. To transfer coursework for credits earned after admission into a degree or licensure program at Muskingum University, students must request approval from the appropriate Graduate Program Director prior to enrolling in courses at another institution. Upon completion of an approved course, the student must submit an official transcript of the work.
Student Active Status Policy
Muskingum University will update student records three times per year to determine which degree seeking students are actively pursuing their program.
To be considered actively pursuing a program, a student must be currently enrolled, registered for a future course, or have been enrolled in one of the two preceding sessions. Sessions considered are fall, spring, and summer. For example, on January 31st, a student must either be currently enrolled in a course, registered for a future course, or have taken a course in the immediately preceding fall or summer session.
When a student’s program is inactive, they are no longer enrolled at Muskingum University, no longer have an active email account associated with the university, and no longer have access to any student systems or campus facility. If a student’s program is inactive and they wish to re-enroll, they must contact the Registrar’s Office. If a student is inactive for more than 5 years, they must re-apply to the university. Students can work directly with Admissions for assistance on re-enrollment.
