Graduate Studies Grievance Committee
Membership of the Grievance Committee
The committee includes three graduate faculty professors from different academic areas with one
specified to be the chair and two graduate students recruited from the Graduate Student Advisory
Council. The chair of the committee will schedule meetings and preside during deliberations.
Neither the professor nor the student will have counsel at the meetings.
Duties of the Grievance Committee
The grievance committee will review all pertinent materials before the formal meeting and
convene at a convenient time for the purpose of hearing the case. The grievance committee
may request oral presentations by the parties. The committee will then convene in an executive
session to reach a decision in the matter. The chair of the committee will inform in writing the
student, faculty member, and the provost of the decision of the committee. If a grade is to be
changed, the provost will see that the proper forms are filled out in the Registrar's Office.
The ruling of this committee is final.
Course and Credit Requirements
Graduate Course Numbers
* 5000-5999 denotes graduate courses taught concurrent with an undergraduate
courses (see notes below).
* 6000-6999 denotes graduate courses taught for graduate credit only.
Note: A graduate student may earn graduate credit in a 5000-level course only if that course is being
offered by a member of the graduate faculty and only if he/she has permission from his/her graduate
advisor. A student desiring graduate credit in a 5000-level course is expected to do more work and
better quality work than that done by a student enrolled for undergraduate credit.
Note: The second number in 5000-level courses in performance in the School of Music does not
denote number of credit hours.
The course level or class is indicated by the first digit in the course number. The second digit
indicates the semester hour value of the course (except in MUPS courses). The third and fourth
digits indicate the departmental sequencing of the course and make it a unique number within
the department or subject area.
The semester hour is the unit of course credit at Hardin-Simmons University.
Ordinarily, a semester-hour credit is based upon one 50-minute class period or two or more
hours in the laboratory per week throughout a semester.
The number of semester, class, and laboratory hours is indicated by a sequence of three numbers
in parentheses following the title of each course. An X in the lab space indicates a variable,
optional, or field activity noted in the course description.
Course Levels
In all graduate programs, at least one-half of the courses must bc 6000 level courses.28
