A semester’s work is awarded eight hours of graduate credit which covers the residency (four credits) and the practicum (four credits). Students must complete four residencies and four practicum periods in a genre. Students may devote one residency and its adjoining practicum to another genre. Students receive no credit for partial completion of the residency or practicum. Students who attend a residency but do not participate in the adjoining practicum must repeat that residency and complete the adjoining practicum. Incomplete grades are not available for MFA students. In-progress grades are possible only in the fifth semester.
