Ph.D. students are required to complete the Preliminary Progress Assessment (PPA) upon completion of their first year in the doctoral program. The PPA will be scheduled annually in August as students begin their second year of doctoral work. Students will be asked to submit a 10-15 page sample of their written work (e.g., revised class paper, research proposal, conference paper, manuscript for publication) and a 1-2 page reflection of their fist year in the program. The committee will also review students’ first-year transcripts and faculty evaluations to evaluate the students’ progress in the program. Summer year 2: 3 credits

*Upon achieving Doctoral Candidacy, the student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for ASLP 997 (Dissertation Guidance) until the Dissertation is completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for review. The course is used only when the curriculum has been completed, candidacy has been achieved, and the student is completing the research and writing of the Dissertation. The ASLP 997 course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student is registered for 3 credit hours and the system reports a full-time 9 credit hour load). After the Intent to Defend the Dissertation form has been received by the School of Graduate Studies, this course registration will be changed to ASLP 998 (Dissertation Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (ASLP 998 will also count as 9 credits of load). ASLP 997 will not count toward curricular credits. Other courses cannot be substituted for ASLP 997. the only eligible grade for ASLP 997 is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for ASLP 998 is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
