Description
|
University of Pennsylvania
students who have not completed all requirements for the
Ph.D., including the deposit of the dissertation, within
five years of their first registration for dissertation
tuition, cease to be candidates for the Ph.D. unless they
satisfy the re-evaluation criteria designed by their
graduate group and approved by the Graduate Council of the
Faculties or, in the absence of an approved re-evaluation
procedure, they retake and pass either the preliminary or
the final examination. The time limit is designed to reduce
the risk of students producing dissertation research that is
no longer at the frontier of current research in their
field.
