All students must complete a petition to graduate. Students enrolling in their final course should fill out the petition at the time of enrollment.

Prior to filling out the petition to graduate:

1. Examine your academic record.
2. Are all anticipated waivers and transfer credit accurately represented?
3. Does your degree audit accurately reflect the degrees and/or certificates that you are pursuing?
4. Have all incomplete or in progress grades on your academic record been resolved?
5. Is your name and address correct in your biographical information?
6. Have you resolved any holds on your account to assure final delivery of your transcript and diploma?

As a graduate student, you can register online after you complete your first term at Webster. Fully admitted students in good academic standing may register for a maximum of two courses (6 credits) per nine-week term.

To register for classes:

1. Use the degree plan provided in your initial academic advising session, or review your degree requirements in the Graduate Studies Catalog.
2. Use the online course schedule to view available courses.
3. Ensure that you have no active holds on your student account.
4. Register online via Connections.

If your acceptance letter indicates that you are accepted under special status, please remember that you are limited to one course per term until you complete the first four core courses in your program. If you need help registering, contact your primary campus (or the Academic Advising Center if you live in the St. Louis metro area).

Most graduate programs have a 5000-level introduction course (requisite course) that must be completed before students can enroll in other required courses in their degree program. If students have a significant undergraduate academic background in the same area as their graduate major, they may speak to an academic advisor about requesting a requisite course waiver. If the requisite course is waived, the student must take an elective course in its place. Requisite course waivers do not reduce the number of total credits hours required for the degree.

We offer five terms per year, eight or nine weeks, depending on the course; Fall 1, Fall 2, Spring 1, Spring 2 and Summer. Most courses meet one night per week for about four hours, and are 3 credit hours. Part-time students typically take one course per term or 3 credits. Full-time students typically take two courses per term, or 6 credits.

BUSN 5000 provides an overview of the common professional competencies expected of any successful business student. To be considered for a waiver, students must either have completed an undergraduate or graduate business degree from an ACBSP, AACSB, IACBE, EQUIS or AMBA accredited business program, provide official transcripts documenting prior successful completion of the required professional competencies, or successfully pass the BUSN 5000 waiver exam. The prerequisite course may not count as an elective in the MBA, but may count as an elective toward other programs. The CPCs include successful completion of the following coursework:

• Marketing
• Management
• Business Law
• Economics
• Business Ethics
• Global Business
• Quantitative Analysis or Stats
• Accounting
• Finance
• Information Systems

Students who do not meet the waiver requirements may opt to take the BUSN 5000 waiver exam offered through Peregrine Academic Services. The exam addresses all of the undergraduate Common Professional Components (CPC) as defined by ACBSP standards. Accredited graduate programs are required to confirm student mastery of CPCs. Exam access is provided to student through their academic advisor.

The waiver exam costs $40. This must be paid upon registration for the exam and is non-refundable. A passing score is 60% or higher. At the completion of the exam, students will receive a completion certificate in PDF form. Students will email their certificate to advising@webster.edu to receive the waiver. Students may retake the exam once. An additional attempt will require an additional $40 fee.

Coursework from other regionally accredited academic institutions, professional military education and/or corporate training classes may be eligible for transfer into your graduate degree program.

Request Transfer Credit

You must apply for admission or already be accepted to a graduate program in order for us to evaluate transcripts for transfer credit.

To find out if your transfer credits may apply to your Webster degree, contact an advisor at your local Webster campus. If you are not close to a Webster campus, contact the Academic Advising Center or the advisor who assisted you during your initial advising session. Please provide the course numbers, course titles, number of credits and where completed. If you are asking for transferred courses to be accepted in place of a course required for the degree, we will need the course description and syllabus for the course(s) in question. Unofficial transcripts sent as attachments to an appropriate advisor are useful when requesting a preliminary transfer credit evaluation.

All transfer credit evaluations are estimates until official transcripts are received to the appropriate campus. Students working with the main campus should have official transcripts for academic courses, or official documentation for military or corporate classes, sent to: Julie Altmann, Academic Advising Center, 黑料网, 568 Garden Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63119-3248.
