ANNUAL STUDENT EVALUATION PROGRESS TOWARDS SOUGHT DEGREE According to ASU's Graduate College, the master's degree must be completed within six years of the earliest date of a course that appears on your Program of Study, including nondegree work (note: transfer work is nondegree for purposes of these computations). Work on the doctorate must be completed within ten years of admission. However, the English Department requires MA candidates (excluding the MFA program) to complete degrees within three (3) years of admission and Ph.D. candidates to complete their degrees within seven (7) years of admission. Any student who fails to do so may be recommended for dismissal from the program. Students may also be recommended for dismissal if they receive a negative evaluation during the annual review process, do not correct deficiencies during the allotted probationary period, and/or fail to maintain satisfactory progress toward the sought degree. In order to help ascertain whether degree candidates are making satisfactory progress toward the sought degree, an annual evaluation of continuing students is conducted. The Self-Evaluation Form must be returned to the Graduate Coordinator. Information and instructions will be sent to the Graduate Student e-mail distribution list. The forms are due June 15th. The aim of this evaluation is to assess student progress and identify students who may need additional mentoring as they move through the program. To maintain active status in the program, students are required to earn a grade point average of B or better in coursework and achieve continual progress toward the sought degree. Academic progress toward sought degree is defined within individual program requirements and would include maintenance of appropriate GPA in all coursework; timely completion of the coursework; satisfaction of language requirement; adherence to all other requirements found in program descriptions, included in the Graduate Handbook; and adherence to all requirements established by the Graduate College. If a student has three I8's on the transcript, he or she may be recommended for dismissal from the program, except for extenuating circumstances. If a student's GPA falls below 3.0 in any given semester, this could result in an automatic review by the Director of Graduate Studies, in consultation with the student's committee (if one exists), with the possibility of recommendation for dismissal from the program.
