All students in the College of Education should contact the Office of Educator Preparation (OEP) for an initial appointment to complete paperwork necessary for entering programs in the College of Education. Following this, students may opt to meet with an advisor each semester for assistance with and approval for courses for upcoming registrations. Advising can be done on a walk-in basis or by appointment. Please refer to the posted advising schedule each month.
After completing 45-60 semester hours, students should request a degree audit through the college academic advising center or through through their major department as determined by college guidelines. When the audit is approved by the appropriate college dean or dean’s representative, it will list all courses required for graduation. Students also have the option to run their own unofficial audit at any time before seeing their advisor by going to CATSWEB. The audit should be used to determine which courses to take at each registration.
It is highly recommended that students see their Academic Advisors to review their degree audits within their last 30 hours prior to graduation. Students need to see that they have the appropriate grade-point averages in all courses taken at Texas State and in the major and minor fields of study. If any of the grade-point averages are below the minimums required for graduation, the degree audit can be used in deciding how to raise the averages in the remaining course work.
Request Degree Audit.
A degree audit identifies the courses that are required to obtain a degree at Texas State. The degree audit will guide the student in selecting courses for registration each semester.The student may access a degree audit from Self Service Banner at http://ssb.txstate.edu. New students to Texas State should be able to view an audit after being admitted to a program. Current students will be able to view the new audit at the beginning of the first semester of the change in program. The student should meet with his or haer graduate advisor during the first semester of admission to discuss options and review the degree program. Requests for changes to a student's degree audit must be submitted by the student's advisor to the Dean of the Graduate College for approval.
Because graduate degree programs are individualized according to degree type and student goals, a student's particular degree program may exxceed the number of hurs identified for the major in the Graduate College Catalog. Students receiving Veterans Administration educational assistan e must provide the Texas State Office of Veteran Affairs with a copy of the graduate degree audit.
