Students who fail to register for DISS 799 hours in a given Fall or Spring semester must register and pay the tuition costs for all missed hours once they resume enrollment at the university. However, a doctoral candidate in an externally accredited program that requires an internship experience is exempt from continuous enrollment while registered for internship credit. Normally, if not registering for a course or courses, the doctoral candidate will register for three credits of DISS 799. During this stage, all doctoral candidates must be registered for a minimum of 3 credits each semester, except during the summer terms, until the final approved copies of the dissertation are deposited in the Graduate School, all credits for degree conferral have been completed, and the residency requirement (if any) has been fulfilled. Requires the research, writing, and final oral defense of the dissertation. If the foregoing requirements are not met, the student may be admitted to candidacy for the doctoral degree on probation, or the privilege of further study leading to the doctoral degree may be denied. Enrollment in dissertation credits is permitted only upon the completion of this stage. Completion of this stage is referred to as Admission to Candidacy for the degree. Requires completion of all course work and fulfillment of any special departmental requirements (e.g., additional language examinations, if any), the passing of the comprehensive examinations, and approval of the dissertation proposal (see below for specific information regarding requirements for the comprehensive examinations). The evaluation is determined by the major department and could include, but is not limited to, an examination or other appropriate review that must be successfully completed before entering Stage 2.
This evaluation will take place no later than the end of the second year to determine if the student is making satisfactory progress, and will be communicated in writing to the student. Students who have already completed a master’s degree equivalent to that awarded by the major department are considered to have completed the first stage of the doctoral program unless the department stipulates otherwise.Įach academic unit that is responsible for a doctoral program will have a procedure to evaluate a student’s progress during this stage. Requires completion with at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average (GPA) at Ball State University or another university that is accredited by its regional accrediting agency. Completion of the Master’s Degree or its Equivalent.
