Students are entitled to fairness in the way their academic performances are
assessed. Each graduate program is responsible for articulating to its
constituents how a student's academic progress is evaluated. Each program also
has a procedure in place for academic appeals. In general, program examinations will be evaluated in a timely and fair manner, and if a student fails a comprehensive, qualifying, or final (defense)
examination, he or she is entitled to an explanation of the reasons for that
decision. Students may also petition for feedback from faculty in these scenarios.
The Graduate School-Camden
provides further opportunity for appeal for students who wish to proceed beyond
the program level (see the Student Academic Appeals section).
