Graduation Auditing Changes
The graduation audit application fee is now $45. There will no longer be a late application deadline after the December 2003 graduation; all audit applications must be made by the stated deadlines. The application deadline for August graduation has been changed to February 1. Graduation audit applications and payment should be submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

Michigan Intercollegiate Graduate Studies (MIGS)
All credit earned under a MIGS enrollment will be accepted by the student’s home institution as if offered by that institution; unlike regular transfer credits, grades earned in MIGS courses are applied toward the home institution grade point average. When MIGS credits are transferred into a graduate program, the total number of transferred credits from all sources may not exceed 50% of the credits required in the program.

Transfer Credits, Master's Degree
A student enrolled in a master's program must complete a minimum of 24 semester hours at Western Michigan University. Any credits transferred into a master's program from other universities may not exceed sixteen credit hours.

A student enrolled for a second master's degree from Western Michigan University must complete a minimum of 24 additional semester hours at Western Michigan University. Any credits transferred internally into the second master's degree program may not exceed sixteen semester credit hours.
