Requirements and expectations To remain in good standing, students must maintain continuous registration for each fall and spring semester (except for official leaves of absence) until they have completed all requirements, including the dissertation. Students are required to enroll for a minimum of nine semester hours each calendar year. Once a student has completed all course requirements and passed the comprehensive examinations, he/she must maintain continuous enrollment of three credits of dissertation research per year. A minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale must be maintained and all degree requirements must be completed in eight years. Compliance with other relevant university regulations also is required. See the Graduate and Professional Programs Bulletin online for details. An important mode of communication between the program office and students is through e-mail, and several classes use computer-based interactive technology. So, while the university provides an array of computing facilities, most students find it desirable to have personal access to a computer, including Internet connection.
