 The Qualifying Exam

The Fall 2009 Qualifying exam will be offered on *Friday, August 21*, 2009. If you are planning on taking the exam, please hand in the Qualifying Exam Advisement Sheet signed by your adviser to the graduate office by *Monday, July 20*, 2009

Please note that we have some revision about passing/failing rules this time. You need to read them carefully.

  • For your minor core course, you can sign up more than one subject, but must select a single subject at the exam time. In other words, you are not allowed to answer questions from different subjects.

  • We will allow an oral exam at a PhD student's 1st or 2nd attempt. Whether such an oral exam will be given will be determined by the faculty group.

  • The exit exam of MS plan II (non-thesis option) has been modified since the fall of 2008. Students entering the program before 2008 may choose the grandfather clause and use the Qualifying exam as their exit exams, but must sign up their exams during the 2009 year (so this will be the last exam). (Starting in year 2010, Qualifying exam will be designated to Ph.D. students only.)

    As a reminder, you MUST take the exam within one year from your enrolling as a Ph.D. student, and if you are planning to graduate under the non-thesis option with a MS degree. If you have questions, please stop by the Office to check.

    You can download the forms here: [doc].
