Review of Work Standards

The entire faculty reviews and evaluates the work of all graduate students on an ongoing basis throughout each semester. 

A grade of B- or below on any assignment is considered unsatisfactory; a grade of B- or below in a course will not be counted toward the degree.

The grade of INC, or incomplete, is given when a student has failed to complete all assigned work satisfactorily by the end of the semester. This grade is given in limited circumstances and only for compelling reasons, either personal or academic. Once the grade of INC is given, the student’s top academic priority is to complete the work involved. Students with three or more incompletes may not register for additional courses and may not take any portion of the M.A. Examinations until all the incompletes are given letter grades and erased from the record.
