These will be returned to the faculty member who completed the original review. These will be given to the student's adviser after the exam. The adviser will give the Program Secretary one copy of the final draft plus the Candidacy Literature Review Forms which will be placed in the student's file. Evaluation Candidacy is awarded on the basis of student performance in three areas. GPA for the first semester of coursework.
Faculty reports on student's course performance and extra course contacts.
Written absentee votes from Graduate Faculty will be allowed. The PIC notifies the Program Secretary whether candidates have passed or failed. The Secretary will process the Doctoral Candidacy Report and send it to The Graduate School. Candidates who have passed will make arrangements with Program Secretary to process the Appointment of Committee form which will then be sent to The Graduate School. Students must have their committee appointed by the end of the Candidacy semester.
