Exam
Doctoral students are required to pass a department certification process before
entering
candidacy.
GPA
The student must have a 3.0 grade point average in doctoral course work (2.5
for PharmD students) and fulfill all other pre-candidacy requirements specified
by
the doctoral program in which the student is enrolled.
Verification
The student’s program must promptly submit candidacy verification to the Graduate
School upon the student’s completion of all requirements for candidacy. The Graduate
School then sends a formal letter to the student notifying them of their admission
to candidacy. Once admitted to candidacy, the student must register for at least
one graduate credit hour in each academic year in his or her program to maintain
his or her graduate student and candidacy status. The student has up to four
consecutive years in which to complete his or her degree requirements once he
or she enters candidacy. If he or she does not complete degree requirements within
four years after candidacy, he or she may petition the Associate Dean
of the Graduate School for an extension
of time to degree.
