Nancy:<br>

We approximately follow the early part of the process outlined by
Eddie Lyons. The department head (or the coordinator of the graduate
program) and associate dean for graduate studies of the student's
college are asked to review and certify the courses. Their decision
is conveyed to the Graduate School either in the form of a memo or
an email. We also ask that a plan for completion of the remaining
degree requirements and an anticipated exit date are both included
in the communication to the Graduate School.<br>
<br>
Memos received as hard copy (very rare these days) are scanned into
PDFs, emails are saved as PDFs. In both cases, the records end up in
the student's electronic folder shared between the Graduate School
and the Registrar. Our Graduate Council is not involved in these
decisions.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ramu<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Wednesday! I’m seeking opinions on
handling time limit extensions for “expired” coursework either
at your institution or transferred in. Right now, we require
faculty from the appropriate department/subject area to
confirm the student “demonstrated competency at a level of B
or higher” AND the graduate coordinator to confirm this course
is still relevant to the degree. We have both coordinators
and faculty ask how they should confirm the retained
competency—exam, interview, project, work experience, etc. I
really want to leave this up to them and their expertise since
our programs are all so different but they keep asking.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, anyone have any processes which would
provide guidance?<o:p></o:p></p>
