Comments
"Students who have earned credits as part of a prior graduate degree at ETSU or another
institution must review and follow the process outlined in the Graduate School Reduction
and/or Substitution of Credits for a Subsequent Graduate Degree Policy." Does “as part of a prior graduate degree at ETSU or another institution” mean one that was actually awarded, or one that was started but not finished, or both? It would be better to be clear about that.
"Nine credits of coursework taken as Non-Degree Student can be applied to the Program of Study." Does that mean only credits earned at ETSU?
