Defining “Satisfactory Progress”
The definition of “satisfactory progress” and procedures for verifying that satisfactory progress is being made may vary among departments/programs, but each department/program should have a written definition on file in the Graduate School and this policy should be communicated to graduate students during their first semester.
In the event that a definition of progress has not been filed by the department/program, satisfactory progress will be judged on the basis of the general provisions of the Graduate School listed under Master's Degrees and Doctoral Degrees in the Graduate Catalog.
