After admission to doctoral candidacy, an interruption in registration is permissible only if the student is not making any use of university facilities or personnel, and requires prior written approval by the academic unit head and the director of graduate programs.
The student鈥檚 dissertation performance is evaluated in each term of registration, and grades of S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) are assigned. These grades do not affect the student鈥檚 grade point average. S grades corresponding to the required number of dissertation credit hours are replaced by grades of P (Pass) on successful completion of the dissertation.
