If a student is not qualified to continue in his or her program
because of unsatisfactory academic performance, including a final
(second) failure on comprehensive or qualifying examinations
or the dissertation defense, the department, school, or college
will recommend to the Graduate School that the student be dropped.
Students
who are dropped from the Graduate School may appeal, in writing,
to the assistant dean of the Graduate School, stating
why they believe the decision should be changed. An appeal
must be based on evidence that the departmental recommendation
for
a drop was a procedural error. In such cases, a subcommittee
of the Board of Graduate Studies will be convened for a recommendation.
The appeals procedure from this point will be the same as for
other appeals.
Students terminated from their programs of study
in the Graduate School will be expected to return their Marquette
ID cards
to the Marquette Card Office, Alumni Memorial Union, 158,
and their
keys to the office which issued them.
