General Policies of the Department
Only full-time graduate students, enrolled for at least nine credit hours
of course work, will be considered for support. An M.S. student may only
be supported for up to four semesters from department funds. A Ph.D. student
may only be supported for up to six semesters from department funds. Satisfactory
performance in research and/or teaching duties is required for financial
support. Financial support may also be withdrawn if academic work is unsatisfactory.
Graduate College candidates must achieve a minimum grade of B in 800
level courses with 400 or lower counterparts within the student's major
department or area; a minimum grade of C or P (pass) in 800-level courses
in minor, collateral, or supporing areas of work; and a minimum grade of
C or P in 900-level courses, or 800-level courses without 400 or lower
counterparts.
The advisor of a student will monitor the progress of the student continuously.
At least once a semester the advisor will provide a brief written evaluation
to the student and a copy to the Graduate Committee. An internal departmental
rating of "S" (satisfactory) or "U" (unsatisfactory) progress will be assigned
by the advisor to student performance at the end of each semester. A student
having unsatisfactory performance will be placed on academic probation.
Each semester the Graduate Committee will review the student's performance
evaluation. Termination recommendations may be made to the Graduate Dean
by the Graduate Committee if a student fails to satisfy conditions required
for removal of probationary status.
Facilities, such as student desk space and departmental equipment, may
be assigned only to active, full-time students, and is subject to availability.
