Comprehensive Examination

Comprehensive examination (XXX 795) is a variable, one (1) to three (3) unit course for which students may register when completing final oral or written examinations or pre-dissertation qualifying examinations. If the student does not complete the examination, the professor will enter an incomplete “I” on the student’s record. If the examination is completed within the next regular semester, the professor will complete a “Grade Report for Incomplete” form for processing in the Office of Admissions and Records to post the grade. However, if a final grade is not submitted by the end of the following semester, a grade of unsatisfactory “U” will be filed, and the student must register again for the comprehensive examination to receive credit for the exam.
