Residence Requirements - Graduate

Policy Statement

Resident graduate study is graduate study provided via SUNY Oneonta faculty instruction in credit bearing courses, whether they are offered on campus, at an off-campus location, or through distance learning. Unless otherwise specified as part of the State approval/registration of a specific program, students must earn a minimum of 50% of the credits for the award of a SUNY Oneonta graduate degree or certificate in resident graduate study.

Rationale

Graduate students should earn at least half of their credits through SUNY Oneonta coursework but should have increased flexibility to transfer credits from other institutions or to receive credit via a defined prior learning process.

Applicability of the Policy

This policy applies to all SUNY Oneonta graduate students.
