If a student is deemed in danger of failing in a studio term, he or she will be notified by their critic as early in the term as possible and no later than four weeks before the end of the term. Such notification will be done either by a letter from the critic or verbally in a meeting with the critic to be followed by a memo noting that such a conversation has taken place. Under no circumstances will students be exempt from presenting their design work in the final review of a project, nor can they be kept from presenting by their critic. After this review, students will be told whether their work is judged passing, incomplete, or failing. Those students whose work is judged incomplete must satisfactorily complete the work required as stipulated by the studio critic.
