PhD in English Language and Linguistics: Departmental Probation
A normally enrolled student who fails to satisfy any requirement as indicated above will automatically be considered as not making satisfactory progress toward the PhD degree in English, and will be listed as "on Departmental probation." The probationary period begins in the next semester of normal enrollment. A student who is not removed from Departmental probation after being on probationary status continuously for a period of two semesters of normal enrollment will be dropped from the PhD program and may not re-enter.
A student may be removed from probation if he or she fulfills the relevant requirements. A student who has been put on probation for a low GPA (overall or in a given semester), and who has no further course requirements, may be removed from probation through special action of the Graduate Committee, with or without the stipulation of a proviso.
For a variety of reasons, a student may not find it possible to be normally enrolled. The student must then make special arrangements with the raduate Division and secure the approval of the Graduate Committee to apply the current work to the degree requirements.
