Culminating Project Enrollment

Graduate students must complete a culminating project, such as a dissertation, thesis, capstone, or professional project course in order to be awarded a graduate degree. Once the student enrolls in this course, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay requires continuous, semester-to-semester enrollment (fall, spring, and summer) until the culminating project's completion. Students are required to (a) enroll in GRAD 693 for thesis candidates, (b) enroll in GRAD 893 for doctoral candidates, (c) enroll for additional dissertation-, thesis-, or capstone-level credit, or (d) enroll for other graduate course credit. 

While a student may complete the course in the semester in which they initially enroll, it is anticipated that most students will take up to three semesters to complete the work associated with the course. Should the student complete the course in the semester of enrollment, a grade will be awarded and the student permitted to graduate. For students who take additional semesters they will receive a grade of “PR” which indicates work “In Progress”; and students enrolled in collaborative graduate programs should confirm this practice with their Faculty Mentor. 

This policy is applicable to the following graduate courses:
