Students should be aware of the importance of regular class attendance ( whether in person or online). Being absent for more than one class leads to a student missing a large portion of the class content. In addition to consistent class attendance, students should make every effort to arrive to class on time out of respect for the learning process, fellow students and faculty. Refer to Academic Policiesfor more information.

For fall and spring semesters, all coursework is due by the end of the semester. For SPI classes, all course work coursework is due by August 20the end of the summer term, and CJP’s Academic Program Coordinator communicates the deadline with faculty and students each summer.
If a student will not be able to complete a course on time, the student must submit a request one week before the end of the semester or, in the case of SPI or other non-traditional graduate classes, one week before all coursework is due. If the request is granted, the student will receive an “I” (incomplete) for the course which will later be replaced by a final grade when the work has been turned in on the agreed upon date (; nothing will be retained on the student’s permanent record noting that the course was completed after the initial deadline). If the request for an extension is denied, the student will receive a grade for the work that has been completed up until the time the course was expected to have been completed. If no work or not enough work to pass the class has been submitted, the final grade will be an F (or a W in unusual circumstances and with the approval of the academic program coordinator).

Each graduate student is supplied with an EMU email address for the duration of their time of study and up to one year following graduation. EMU expects that while a student is enrolled in the program, the student will be responsible for the information sent to their EMU email address, which may include course expectations and deadlines, registration for classes, and community events. Students are welcome to forward their EMU emails to an alternate address or change their subscriptions.
Leave of absence
Graduate students who intend to interrupt their enrollment in the graduate program for more than one full year are required to submit a written request to the academic program coordinator and their academic advisor. This request will then be processed, and a decision will be given to the student. The program may choose to withdraw the student from the program for lack of sufficient academic progress. Acceptable reasons for requesting a leave of absence include, but are not limited to, medical circumstances, inadequate financial resources to continue, or family crises. If a student does not submit a written request for a leave of absence for review and approval, their admission into the program may be revoked, and the student would need to reapply should they wish to continue in the degree program at a later date. Refer toAcademic Policiesfor more information.

In the case where a student is enrolled in the GC program and wants to move to the MA program, this procedure will be followed:
The student will submit a written request to their academic advisor and the academic program coordinator.
Depending on the length of time they have been in the program, an additional letter of recommendation may be requested.
The academic program coordinator will circulate the request with the Admissions Committee for final approval of the internal transfer of program and then communicate the decision to the student and advisor.
The student is responsible for the master's curriculum as it exists when they are admitted into the full master's program (not what it was when they began their graduate certificate studies).
Transfer credit
Transfer credits may be applied to a student’s program of study with the approval of the academic program coordinator, who will handle decisions on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the student’s advisor.

If a student wishes to pursue two graduate certificates - Conflict Transformation (CT) and Restorative Justice (RJ) - a total of 6 credit hours will be shared between the two programs. The core (Foundations 1 OR Analysis: Understanding Conflict AND Formation for Peacebuilding Practice) will be satisfied for both programs. Outside of those 6 SH, the student will need to take the number of additional credit hours and the specific courses needed to satisfy GC requirements. If a student wishes to pursue a GC in CT alongside an MARJ or MATL, an additional 3 6 SH is required. If a student wishes to pursue a GC in RJ alongside the MACT or MATL, an additional 6 SH is required, and specific RJ requirements for the GC must be fulfilled. In the instance that a student has already taken courses that are required courses in the second program being added, they do not have to retake those courses but will need to select additional courses to fill out the required credit hours and meet their learning objectives. The academic program coordinator will review individual cases and can make a decision on a case-by-case basis to accept more credit hours. Especially in cases where a recent GC graduate (like WPLP) wishes to add on the MA degree, it may make sense to consider bringing in all the credits.
