Advancement to Candidacy: Outstanding Coursework Policy
In order to hold a dissertation/treatise proposal defense, students must have no outstanding incompletes from prior semesters. All incompletes must be resolved and a grade must be entered for all courses. If a student received a permanent incomplete, the course must be re- taken and the grade must be entered for that course. Students are permitted to defend the same semester that they are enrolled in the last of their required courses. Students are permitted to have no more than one outstanding required course on their program of work at the time that they hold their proposal meeting. The outstanding course cannot be a core or research course. (In rare circumstances, students may ask their advisor for approval to defend with two outstanding courses.)
