Progress Grading Policy
- Purpose of Policy :
Doctoral students at our University are required to complete a 15 credit dissertation consisting of 5 companion course modules. Some of the course modules are taken multiple times until a specific outcome is achieved. Each Term, students are graded on their progress on completing the modules as satisfactory “S” or unsatisfactory “U” as they progress towards completing the dissertation.
- Guidelines and Processes
- DBA students in their last two Terms or 8 months and who have passed all required courses, are allowed to enroll in the DBA in Management course Dissertation (DBAMGDIS),a 15 credit course as they work toward completion of the dissertation. The DBA in Management Dissertation Course consists of the following modules: via the department chair to the Office of the Registrar specifying the length of and the extenuating circumstances which precipitated this LoA request.
- The Registrar review for completeness and forward to Chief Academic Officer or designee for approval.
- The Registrar notifies the student and the department chair of the action taken.
- The time a student spends on a LoA counts toward the student’s program length.
- A LoA should not be requested during the Term. During the Term and before the withdrawal date, the student should request and process a withdrawal.
- Returning from a LoA
- Returning to the University following a LoA, the student should notify the department chair and the Registrar at least 15 calendar days prior to his/her intended Start-date of the Term.
A student who failed to return from a LoA will be administratively withdrawn from the University as of the date the leave began.
