Review the university-wide graduate program policies found in the graduate school catalogin Academic Policies.

Advisors

When a faculty member goes on sabbatical or is otherwise absent for part or all of the academic year, the academic program coordinator will assume advising responsibilities in their absence unless alternate arrangements have been made. In the case of certain specialized graduate certificate (GC) programs where mentors are used, no academic advisor will be assigned. Refer to the graduate program policy Academic Policies on advising for more information.

...

Students should be aware of the importance of regular class attendance (whether in person or online). Being absent for more than one class leads to a student missing a large portion of the class content. In addition to consistent class attendance, students should make every effort to arrive to class on time out of respect for the learning process, fellow students and faculty. Refer to the graduate program policy on “Class Attendance” for related advising Academic Policiesfor more information.

Course extensions, incompletes and continued coursework

...

Graduate students who intend to interrupt their enrollment in the graduate program for more than one full year are required to submit a written request to the academic program coordinator and their academic advisor. This request will then be processed, and a decision will be given to the student. The program may choose to withdraw the student from the program for lack of sufficient academic progress. Acceptable reasons for requesting a leave of absence include, but are not limited to, medical circumstances, inadequate financial resources to continue, or family crises. If a student does not submit a written request for a leave of absence for review and approval, their admission into the program may be revoked, and the student would need to reapply should they wish to continue in the degree program at a later date. Refer to the graduate program policy on "time limits for completing degree requirements" for Academic Policiesfor more information.

Non-degree seeking students

...

For certain CJP courses, like Practicum and Praxis courses, “Pass” is the highest grade possible. The “Pass” grade is not factored into the overall grade point average (GPA). Most classes are evaluated with a standard letter grade range: A, B, C. Refer to the graduate program policy on the "grading system and quality points" Academic Policiesfor more information.
