Upon successful completion of comprehensive exams, an Application for Candidacy should be filed as described in Doctoral Milestones.
Otherwise, if the Supervisory Committee determines that the student has failed the comprehensive examination:
- A letter is submitted by the chair of the Supervisory Committee to the Dean for Graduate Studies stating the conditions under which the student may attempt another examination.
- Only one attempt may be made per academic term. Only two attempts overall are permitted, unless additional attempts are approved by the Supervisory Committee.
