Failure of the Comprehensive Exam
Failure of the Comprehensive Exam
Per the graduate student catalog, students that fail their first attempt at any element of the comprehensive exam may be granted a second attempt of that element.
Students who fail any portion of the comprehensive exam must submit their request to retake via the Comprehensive Exam Form within five (5) working days of being notified of their failure.
Process
Students who fail one or more elements of the comprehensive exam will indicate via the Comprehensive Exam Form:
1) Which element(s) were failed.
2) If they will be retaking/revising the failed element(s).
The Comprehensive Exam form will route to all committee members for their approval.
If all committee members approve the student's request to retake/revise the failed element(s) of the exam the student will be asked to complete the Report of Failure of Comprehensive Exam, and a grade of I (incomplete) will be entered for COMPUT 691.
If the request to retake is approved, then the second attempt of the failed elements of the exam must be submitted before the end of the following semester, not including summer, after receiving the exam results.
Students who do not request a retake, or whose retake request is denied by their committee, will be given a grade of (F) for COMPUT 691, and the student will be dismissed from the program by the Graduate College.
If a student fails to submit their second attempt prior to the end of the semester following the initial failure, or if the student fails the second attempt, then a grade of (F) is assigned to COMPUT 691, and the student will be dismissed from the program by the Graduate College.
Any extension of the time limit on the second attempt must be approved by the Program Directors and by the Dean of the Graduate College.
