Graduate > Grade & Performance
A student's final standing in a course will be indicated
by a numeric grade from 1 to 10. Graduate credit for required
courses will be given if a grade of 7 or higher is obtained.
A minimum cumulative grade point average of 7.5 over all completed
courses must be achieved. The number of required courses is
determined by the Department and is as follows:
- For the Master's degree 5 courses are required
- For a Doctorate degree 10 courses are required
The performance of students shall be considered unsatisfactory,
if they either obtain a cumulative grade point average less
than 7.5, or they obtain one or more grades below 7. In such
cases, appropriate action will be taken by the Department
in consultation with the Graduate Program Committee. The students
in question will be required either to take additional courses,
to repeat courses, or to withdraw from the Graduate Program.
Graduate students may also officially register for courses
on an AUDIT basis. A request for auditing a course must be
approved by the Departmental Meeting for Graduate Studies
and Research, and the instructor of the course must agree
to accept the student on a clearly defined basis as an AUDIT.
If, at the end of the course, the student has fulfilled all
the requirements set forth by the instructor and agreed to
by the student, the instructor will inform the Registrar and
the course will be retained as an AUDIT course on the transcript.
If the student does not fulfill the requirements, the course
will be deleted from the transcript. Courses which are taken
in addition to the requirements of the Program will be so
indicated on the transcript, and such courses are not subject
to the above regulations.
The students are required to complete certain seminar courses
satisfactorily, but no grade will be given for these courses.
Such courses will receive a CREDIT on the transcript. The
grade of INC (Incomplete) is awarded only on the basis of
illness supported by medical evidence, or other unusual circumstances
upon the recommendation of the faculty member (or members)
teaching the course, and with the approval of the Departmental
Meeting for Graduate Studies and Research.
An INC grade that remains on a student's record by the end
of the term following the submission of the INC, will be converted
to a grade 4 (four) unless specific arrangements to extend
the period of holding the INC status are approved by the Departmental
Meeting for Graduate Studies and Research. If a course extends
beyond the normal duration (e.g. a reading course or a seminar-type
course that extends over one year), an INP (In Progress) grade
may be used until the course is completed.
In order to register and maintain graduate student status,
a candidate for a degree or diploma must achieve and maintain
satisfactory academic performance at all times. A student
whose academic performance is not considered satisfactory
by the Departmental Meeting for Graduate Studies and Research
may be required to withdraw from the Graduate Program.
