Readmission
In the educational psychology—psychological foundations
(PsyF)
and quantitative methods in education (QME) tracks, when a student has been "dropped" by the Graduate School for inactivity, the faculty shall review the student for readmission. Students have been dropped whenever they must file forms with the Graduate School in order to receive permission to resume work on their degrees. Examples of reasons for dropping a student are 1) no registration for one
semester, 2) failure to complete the doctoral thesis within five years after the prelim oral, 3) failure to complete pre-dissertation research, or 4) failure to complete prelim written/oral examinations.
Students will be considered for readmission after they have:
-
Filed the required documents with the Graduate School.
-
Completed the PsyF/QME form for readmission/change of
status, [.pdf] including a statement describing the plan for completing the degree and an endorsement from the former adviser if s/he is still available and willing to advise.
In response to the student's request, the faculty in the student's area will decide whether to re-admit the student based on satisfactory past performance, the recency of degree coursework, and the student's plan for timely degree completion, and also if the program has the resources available (e.g., an available adviser). If there are no concerns regarding performance or resources, the faculty will offer to readmit the student, with special conditions for the admission regarding course and exam requirements to be determined on an individual basis. Change of status
A student applying for a change of status in degree objective (M.A. to Ph.D.) within the
psychological foundations track must:
-
File the required documents with the Graduate School
-
Complete the PsyF/QME form for readmission/change of
status, [.pdf] including a statement describing the plan for completing the degree and an endorsement from the current adviser if s/he is available and willing to advise.
In response to the student's request, the faculty will determine if the student's past performance was satisfactory and if the
track has the resources available (e.g., an available adviser). If there are no concerns regarding performance or resources, the faculty will approve the change of status, with any special conditions for the admission regarding course and exam requirements to be determined on an individual basis.
NOTE: Students are responsible for the course and exam
requirements in effect at the time of readmission or change of
status.
