PhD Committee Policies
Qualifying Examination/Advancement Committee Presence Policy
It is the expectation and requirement of the School of Engineering that a doctoral student’s Qualifying Examination take place on one day at one time with all members the Candidacy Committee (same members listed on the Qualifying Exam Nomination Form) in attendance.
If it is not possible for all members to physically be in attendance, one member (maximum) can be present via video conference with the use of Skype or another similar application. However, students should note that the Ph.D. I form must have original signatures from all members and must be submitted prior to the submission deadline and, as such, plan accordingly.
Dissertation Defense/Doctoral Committee Presence Policy
It is the expectation and requirement of the School of Engineering that a doctoral candidate’s Dissertation Defense take place on one day at one time with all members of the Doctoral Committee in attendance. The defense must be open to the public.
Academic Dishonesty Policy
A student who is found to have committed an act of academic dishonesty will be given a warning for their first incident of academic dishonesty unless the act is egregious. If egregious, then a student is subject to immediate academic disqualification. If not egregious, then any future incidents will result in academic disqualification. You can view the Academic Honesty policy for more information.
