Students who are admitted to the M.A. program with aid are usually promised continued assistance for a period of time, contingent on remaining in good academic standing and making satisfactory academic progress. Meeting any of the conditions below will make a student subject to review by the department and may lead to discontinuation of an assistantship.
- Being on academic warning.
- Receiving a grade below B in a letter-graded graduate level philosophy course, or a U in an S/U - graded graduate level philosophy course.
- Having more than one I (Incomplete) in a graduate level philosophy course at the start of any semester.
- Having any Incompletes in a graduate level philosophy course that have been outstanding for more than one semester.
- Taking less than a full class load (9 credit hours, excluding Phil 8900-8999) each semester during the regular academic year prior to starting work on one's thesis (indicated by being enrolled in Phil 8999).
Note: Wherever the above policy refers to 'philosophy courses' it also includes any courses taken outside the philosophy department used towards the satifaction of the philosophy MA degree (e.g., courses for the B&B track).
"Letter-graded" classes in the above refers to classes which are graded on an A-F basis.
Return to financial matters and assistantships.
