= Masters Student Resources =

All students should acquaint themselves with the policies and procedures document [[https://www.southern.edu/academics/computing/docs/Graduate_Policies.pdf|here]].

This /MastersCheckList shows a timeline for completion of the various requirements. For a full list of requirements see the policies document above. 

I have created a [[attachment:ProjectTemplate.zip|proposed template for Thesis/Project/Proposal reports]] using $$\LaTeX$$ It follows the Turabian style guide. This particular one includes chapters appropriate for the project proposal. See [[https://www.southern.edu/academics/academic-sites/computing/docs/Graduate_Policies.pdf|Graduate Policies]] for details of each report type. When you make your presentation (proposal or final presentation), you need to have a signature page ready for your professors to sign. The template for that is [[attachment:Signature Page.tex|here]].

== Policies Related to Maintaining your Status as a Graduate Student ==

Violation of any of these requirements will result in you being considered for dismissal from the program. The following rules are specified by Southern.

 1. Maintain a 3.00
 1. No more than 2 B- grades 
 1. No Grade below a C 

There is also one more requirement added by the School of Computing. 

 1. Students can't repeat more than 2 classes to increase their GPA
