A student not enrolled for a semester may not receive payment for teaching, research or other university services during that semester. Time Requirement University of Houston requirements state that the doctoral student who fails to complete the dissertation within five years after the completion of the comprehensive examinations must retake the examination. Good Standing Students must retain a grade point average on the doctoral level of 3.67. Students whose grade point average falls below that level will receive notice in writing that they have been placed on probation. Failure to receive a 3.67 in the next semester may be grounds for dismissal from the program.
Grades do reflect a student's progress.
Unacceptable Graduate students are allowed no more than two incompletes at one time without the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies . Incompletes must be removed within one semester. Miller scholarships come from a fund established in memory of Dr. Murry A. Miller, former history professor at the University of Houston. Scholarships will be awarded by the Graduate Committee, Department of History. All full-time students applying for a teaching assistantship will automatically be considered for a Miller Graduate Scholarship.
