| - | ====== Satisfactory Academic Progress ====== | ||
| - | A graduate student may hold an appointment as a Teaching Assistant in the School of Physics and Astronomy if he/she is in good standing with the University of Minnesota Graduate School and is making satisfactory progress towards a graduate degree with a major in the School of Physics and Astronomy. | ||
| - | |||

| - | The Graduate School provides a “warning” concerning a student’s status for each semester if the student is deficient in one of the factors listed below. If the deficiency is not remedied by the beginning of the following semester, a “hold” is placed on registration and the student cannot register until the deficiency is removed. Registration in Graduate School is a prerequisite for holding the position of Teaching Assistant. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Criteria for a “warning” on a student’s registration are the following: | ||
| - | |||
| - | - The grade point average for work since entering graduate school must not fall below 2.8 for MS students and 3.3 for Ph.D. students. | ||
| - | - The number of incomplete credit hours must not exceed six | ||
| - | - A student registered as working towards a Master’s degree should have submitted his/her master’s program degree plan by the time he/she has completed 10 credits of graduate work. | ||
| - | - For satisfactory progress, students who pass the graduate written examination should find a research advisor during their second year in graduate school. They should file a graduate degree plan and pass the preliminary oral exam during their third year in graduate school. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | A graduate student receiving a “warning” should take prompt action to remove the deficiency before the end of that semester so his/her status for the following semester will not be in question. | ||
