1. EXIT REQUIREMENTS:
Applying for Graduation – Applications for graduation are available in the Education Student Service Center (ESSC). You are encouraged to apply two semesters before
your expected graduation date. Application deadlines are April 14th for Fall semester, September 9th for Spring semester, and February 1st for Summer semester. A
graduation fee of $25 (effective 3/1/02) is assessed upon submission of your graduation application.
Comprehensive Exam Option – If selecting this option, the comprehensive exam should be taken during or after your last term of coursework. Placement on the
comprehensive exam list requires that you apply for graduation, have a program of study on file in the ESSC, and be registered for at least one (1) graduate hour during the
term taken. Exam notices are sent approximately one month before the exam. If you wish to take the exam earlier than the term you plan to graduate, you must state so on
the graduation application. Graduation applications are available in the Graduation Office.
Thesis/Project Option – If selecting the thesis or project option, you must be registered for at least one (1) graduate hour until completion of this requirement and submit a
Proposal Approval form prior to submission of the final thesis or project. Thesis/Project forms and instructions are available in the ESSC, JH 170.
2. GRADUATE CREDIT TRANSFER/EXTENSION OF 6-YEAR LIMIT:
Graduate Credit Transfer – A Graduate Credit Transfer form must be completed when requesting credit toward your degree program for graduate-level courses taken at
another institution. Transfer eligibility requires that courses be less than 6 years old (unless a petition is filed and approved to extend the 6-year limit—see below), were
not used to meet previous degree requirements, and where a letter grade of “B” or better was earned. No more than nine (9) semester hours are transferable and you need
to complete 12 semester hours at CSU before you can apply. Transcripts and course descriptions must accompany the Graduate Credit Transfer form, which is available
in the ESSC, JH 170.
Extension of 6-Year Limit – A College Petition and corresponding Course Relevancy Statements must be completed when requesting credit for graduate-level coursework
that will be more than 6 years old at the time you graduate. Petitions and Relevancy Statements are available in the ESSC, JH 170.
3. GRADUATE PRACTICUM:
A practicum experience (HPR 682) is required of all students in Sports Management and is to be completed near or at the end of your program. A complete set of
“Graduate Practicum Guidelines” is available from the HPERD department. The information below provides a general description, practicum hours, prerequisites, and the
application/approval process. Application and approval due dates will be strictly enforced.
Description – The practicum provides an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge and skills at a community or commercial site related to their Master’s program.
Depending on the area of specialization and selected courses, students must register for 3, 4, or 5 semester credits. The minimum number of clock hours required is
directly related to the number of semester credits as shown in Table 1.

Prerequisites – The practicum is to serve as an “application” experience. It is expected that at least two-thirds of the program will be completed in order to maximize this
experience and that sufficient time is allowed to seek a suitable placement. Therefore, the following prerequisites will be strictly enforced:
1. Completion of a minimum of 22 semester credit hours prior to your practicum experience.
2. Application form must be submitted in full no later than the due date for the practicum semester as shown in Table 2.
3. Approval form must be submitted in full no later than the due date for the practicum semester as shown in Table 2; subsequent approval by advisor and department
chair.

Due to special policies and contracts with certain organizations, agencies, and facilities, it may be necessary to demonstrate proof of professional liability insurance before
the beginning of your practicum experience. Oftentimes, liability insurance can be purchased at a reasonable price through homeowners or renters insurance policies or
professional organizations (e.g., AAHPERD). In addition, some health care facilities may require the following: (a) annual TB testing, (b) rubeola screen or vaccination
validating immunization, and (c) Hepatitis B vaccination or declination statement.
