| A. | Admission of a student to the Graduate School provides the
opportunity for graduate study and research at the University only for
the period during which the student maintains satisfactory performance and progress toward
completion of the graduate degree program. |
|
| B. | Graduate program advisers and their faculty colleagues in the academic units offering graduate programs must on a regular basis review the
status of their graduate students. If a graduate student's performance, or
progress, or promise of completion of the graduate program is unsatisfactory, advice and recommendations concerning the student must be transmitted promptly to
the Dean of the Graduate School who may send an appropriate notice to the graduate student
relating to a change in the student's status. |
|
| C. | In carrying out a review of a graduate student's status, the student's whole situation should be considered. Grade reports are important, but in addition the student's performance in formal course work and in seminars, research progress and achievements, and performance and prospects in all other significant ways should be appraised. If a graduate student has been admitted into a doctoral program and is proceeding under the guidance of a supervisory committee, then this supervisory committee should be responsible for a quarterly review of the student's status. |
