PREFACE Forecasters looking for trends that may help define the shape of the future almost uniformly describe a world that will become more knowledge intensive. In this world it’s projected that one will likely engage in a lifetime of ongoing learning and act and think creatively in a connected global arena. Universities can and must play important roles in preparing leaders in education to engage in the scenario that is painted for the future. The impact of the educational systems on tomorrow’s world will depend on the vision of leaders who anticipate the future. Educators will need to be able to develop learning opportunities in an information age; they will need to understand the processes under which innovation occurs and they will require a sense of who we are as human beings in an increasingly diverse society.
Clearly, collaboration and interagency problem
solving will be necessary to plan beyond the newest technological and societal trend. Universities will need to join in partnerships to plan and prepare educators for the future that is ahead. It is within this context of a future that requires enlightened leaders that we welcome you to the SDSU-USD Doctoral Program in Education. To begin the experience, however, it is necessary to have a view of the end and the path that has been constructed to guide your journey. This Handbook is a compilation of the purposes, program, policies and procedures that have been developed by faculty at San Diego State University and the University of San Diego to direct you on the path to a Doctorate in Education. Although the Handbook provides an overview of the policies and procedures governing the SDSU-USD joint program, you are also responsible for being familiar with the contents of the Graduate Bulletins at both universities. All who are involved in the program look forward to working with you in what is viewed as an exciting and challenging educational experience. And now together we begin‌.

PROGRAM PURPOSE The doctorate in education (Ed.D.) that is collaboratively offered by San Diego State University and the University of San Diego is designed to prepare professionals who can create effective learning environments and responsible social policy in a rapidly changing world. The doctoral program builds upon the strengths, resources and collective capabilities of two major institutions of higher education in the San Diego region. The close proximity of the two campuses provides opportunities for shared support and maximum interaction as well as a rich exchange among students and faculty. The primary goal of the partnership is to create a collaborative program of specialized study anchored by a common core of courses. An additional purpose is providing students with an opportunity to study research and evaluation models that will enable them to conduct inquiries and to write dissertations on topics appropriate to their concentrations and interests.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW The doctoral program has been designed to move students through a logical progression of coursework and educational experiences that will culminate with the writing of a dissertation. It is expected that students will take six units of study each fall and spring semester, with occasional courses in the summer or intersession. Courses will be taken at each university in alternating semesters.
In addition, students are expected to complete all coursework and
dissertation requirements within the seven-year time limit.
NETWORKED EDUCATION DOCTORATE (NEdD) A virtual learning community Learning can occur in a number of settings in education today. The traditional face to face, interactive mode is still very much a part of programs at universities. More and more, however, modes of electronic transaction have begun to develop.
List-serves, e-mail, chat rooms,
videoconferences (as examples) are proliferating. Linking learners outside the traditional brick and mortar venue has transformed the university and will impact dramatically education in a multitude of settings in the future. 8-27-02

Virtual learning is rapidly becoming a part of the SDSU-USD Joint Doctorate in Education’s delivery system. Courses have an assortment of online components. Faculty exchange ideas with colleagues and with students via a variety of venues. As new technologies are developed that support the building of a virtual learning community, the Joint Doctoral Program will use them to enhance learning. NEdD, the Networked Education Doctorate, has become the center of the virtual learning community that is being developed in the Joint Doctoral Program. Communication is available for all stakeholders in a password protected area in Blackboard. It is a place where students can network; a place to chat with faculty and program directors; a place to get questions answered and a place to share documents.
You can enter the area of NEdD when you log on to

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION AND SUPPORT Concentration Advisors
Each doctoral cohort of students will have a concentration advisor at SDSU and at USD. The concentration advisor will counsel students and consult with administration, faculty and support staff regarding general requirements for the program. The advisor will meet with the concentration cohort on a monthly basis while the cohort is taking coursework at the university. Each student's proposed course of study (particularly electives and independent studies) must be approved by the concentration advisor at the institution where the course resides. Other duties of the concentration advisor shall include: working with administration and faculty to monitor student progress and to ensure compliance with program requirements; work with students to craft their concentrations and electives; working with doctoral office support personnel to maintain and update a database of students’ progress and serve as a liaison between institutions and between program concentrations.

Dissertation Component (12 Units) All students are required to take 3 units of dissertation seminar. One unit is taken early in the program, while the second two units are generally taken after students have completed all core courses. The purpose of both courses is to provide students with a framework for exploring areas of professional interest that might lead to a dissertation topic. Students will be given guidance and support in identifying ways to obtain the knowledge and skills needed to complete a dissertation project. ™
EDUC 650 Dissertation Seminar (1)
™
EDUC 657 Dissertation Seminar (2)
Once students have completed all coursework and begin working on the dissertation, it is required that they maintain continuous enrollment in EDUC 611/SDSU 611 Dissertation.

QUALIFYING EXAM #1 Purpose To assess student’s competency in applying qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to specific contexts, in particular from the five core courses. By successfully completing the exam, students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the critical issues from the core courses, and to show evidence that they have the ability to conduct scholarly research.
Exam Format Qualifying Exam #1 (QE1) will be taken during the summer of 2004, after students have completed all research courses and four of the five core courses. QE1 is divided into Parts: A and B. In Part A, students will select and write to specific questions that center on research methodologies as they relate to topics studied in the core courses. In Part B, students will have the opportunity to select questions that center on methodologies used in research articles that are provided at the time of the exam (qualitative portion) or that students bring to the exam (quantitative portion). This first round of the test focuses on application of qualitative methodologies and is administered on campus. Students will have a designated amount of time to complete the exam. The second round (generally a week or two later) is the application of quantitative methodologies and it is a take-home exam. Questions will be sent electronically and students will be asked to return their exams within a specified number of days. Specific instructions will be given to students during the semester preceding the exam.
Evaluation of QE1 Each section (qualitative and quantitative) of the exam will be read by two readers and will receive one of four possible score responses: ♌
Pass
♌
Pass with revisions (30 days to rewrite and resubmit)
8-27-02
20
♦
Fail: Technical writing deficiency, requires student to take technical writing course and retake QE1 the following semester
♦
Fail: Conceptual deficiency: requires work with advisor in content area, then retake of QE1 the following semester.
Readings will be "blind," with exams identified by students' ID numbers. A third reader will read if the two readers disagree about a score. Results will be sent to students via a letter in four to six weeks after they take the exam. After three revisions, candidates who do not successfully complete QE1, will be disqualified from the Joint Doctoral Program. *( we reserve the right to make adjustments to these procedures as deemed necessary)
QUALIFYING EXAM #2 Purpose The purpose of qualifying Exam #2 (QE2) is to assess the student's ability to: ♦
Express him/herself in a scholarly paper demonstrating readiness for preparing a doctoral dissertation.
♦
Communicate original evidence and/or data with analysis and interpretation.
♦
Interpret, reflect on, and discuss the significance of the work products in relation to her/his professional goals and prospective community of practice.
Procedures for Development Students will typically prepare QE2 under the general supervision of faculty members. The starting point might be a course project or independent study elaborating a course project. The role of supervising faculty members will be formative with summative evaluation left to a QE2 Review Committee.
8-27-02
21
Procedures for Administration The QE2 Review Committee consists of two faculty members, one from each institution each semester. The members will approve the submission for acceptance; reject the work; or accept the work conditionally, upon completion of specific revisions within a specified time period. In the event that the two faculty members cannot agree on disposition of the student's submissions, the matter will be referred to one of four concentration advisors with expertise in the area, for a final decision. QE2 review committees will convene during the summer and intersession: in June and January respectively, giving students two opportunities to be reviewed. Students are required to complete the QE2 Intent to Submit form (and attach a copy of the manuscript guidelines) and turn it into the Joint Doctoral Program office at SDSU. This will alert the administrative offices of the student’s intent to submit work to the Review Committee. The forms must be turned in no later than December 1st for January submissions and June 1st for July submissions. Students will be notified in writing, within 4-6 weeks of submission, concerning the results of the exam. Depending on these results and if the Review Committee agrees that all competencies are not fully met, a student may be required to submit a second time. If after the third submission, the committee finds the exam unacceptable, students’ can not advance to candidacy and therefore will be dismissed from the Joint Doctoral Program. Submission Guidelines The student must submit QE2 as a manuscript compliant with the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, unless the publication to which it will be submitted specifically calls for another style. The manuscript must be suitable for submission to a specifically targeted refereed publication identified by the student. The manuscript can not exceed 5,000 words, excluding figures and references, unless an exception is approved in writing by the student's concentration adviser. A shorter work, in the range of 2,500-3,500 words is preferable. The student must be sole author, or lead author with one coauthor. It is highly recommended that students confer with a USD or SDSU faculty member prior to submission.
8-27-02
22
A photocopied sample of the targeted journal and a copy of that journal’s editorial guidelines must accompany the manuscript for prospective authors. If the manuscript has been already published or is in press, the student's submission to the Review Committee shall include, in addition to the guidelines and manuscript proper, a copy of the published article or galleys and all correspondence with the publisher. The student must also submit with QE2 an essay of approximately 1,500 words explaining how work leading to the manuscript reflects, enables, or influence(ed) development of the student's professional goals, links to the students prospective community of practice, and must explain the role and level of support provided by any collaborators or co-authors. Criteria for Evaluation The manuscript must be suitable for submission to a refereed publication in the student's concentration area. The manuscript must clearly demonstrate a capacity for evidence-based scholarship at a level consistent with preparation and defense of a doctoral dissertation. The essay must provide a coherent self-assessment of the student's professional goals and explain the relationship of the manuscript to these goals. In applying these criteria to the manuscript, the Committee will consider factors such as: ♦
Currency and relevance
♦
Rigor of methods
♦
Quality of evidence, analysis, presentation, and scholarly synthesis
♦
Clarity of written communication and argumentation
♦
Contributions to the literature or knowledge base associated with the candidate's concentration(s)
♦
Contributions to the student’s prospective community of practice
♦
Appropriateness of content and style for the targeted publication
In assessing the essay, the Committee shall consider the degree to which it evidences the students ability to: ♦
Articulate his or her professional goals
♦
Link these goals to the needs of prospective communities of practice in which the student plans to participate
8-27-02
23
♦
Reflect on the relevance of specific aspects of his/her experience and particularly his/her doctoral studies as they reflect, enable, and/or influence(ed) these goals
After three revisions, candidates who do not successfully complete QE2, will be disqualified from the Joint Doctoral Program.
ADVANCEMENT TO CANDIDACY Students will be notified of advancement to candidacy when they have successfully completed QE1, QE2, core, research, concentration and elective courses (with certain independent study exceptions). At this point, the student becomes a “doctoral candidate,” and can begin the dissertation process.

DISSERTATION COMMITTEE It is the responsibility of the dissertation committee to guide the work of the candidate during the process of shaping an acceptable proposal and writing a dissertation. The committee is also responsible for the approval of the dissertation with the successful defense of the product by the candidate. Students generally begin this process after they have completed most of the core courses and had an opportunity to work closely with a number of faculty from both institutions, and completed QE 1 and 2. To begin the procedure, candidates select a chair for their dissertation. The chair must have had prior experience with doctoral dissertations, except under unusual circumstances. This person may be a faculty member at either institution. The chair and the candidate will then collaborate on a committee structure and choose two members who are deemed appropriate from either of the two institutions. It is required that there is at least one member (of the three person committee) from each institution. To confirm agreement on the structure of the committee, the candidate is required to complete the Dissertation Committee form, circulate the form for committee members, get signatures, and turn it into the Joint Doctoral Program (JDP) office at SDSU or USD (wherever the chair resides) before moving forward with the dissertation proposal. In the rare circumstance that a committee member is chosen who is not a faculty member/ administrator from SDSU or USD, an Outside Member Dissertation Committee form must be completed and approved by the candidate’s dissertation chair and JDP Program Director of that institution.
DISSERTATION PROPOSAL Once a student has successfully passed QE1 and QE2, he/she can formally begin the dissertation process. First, doctoral candidates are required to complete the proposal review process. A good dissertation proposal includes a strong rationale, a review of the literature and a coherent and systematic procedure to be followed. Guided by this, the candidate will have a methodical plan 8-27-02
26
and will be more efficient and purposeful when undertaking the research. Additionally, writing a proposal demonstrates scholastic competence in the projected area of study. In doing so, the doctoral student, with guidance from the chair, is expected to persuade the committee that the project is a good idea based on the strength of the research design in the purpose, and a procedure has been determined to carry it out to fruition. An approved dissertation proposal serves as an agreement between the doctoral candidate and the members of the dissertation committee. The steps for the Dissertation Proposal Hearing include: ♦
Preparation of the dissertation proposal: The document should be about 20-30 pages and include appendices. A one page abstract (approved by the dissertation chair) should accompany the dissertation proposal. After careful review by your dissertation committee chair, the proposal is then submitted to the committee for examination.
♦
Once the committee agrees that the written portion of the proposal is acceptable, the candidate arranges a formal meeting with his/her committee to present the proposal. Candidates must complete the Proposal Hearing form, indicating the date, location and time of the proposal hearing. In addition, the committee chair must approve the abstract attached to the proposal hearing form. The form must be completed, signed by the committee members, and turned into the JDP office at SDSU or USD (wherever the chair resides) two weeks in advance of the review date. This is to ensure that all committee members are aware of the date and agree on moving forward with the dissertation proposal hearing.
♦
At the Dissertation Proposal Hearing, candidates have the opportunity to orally present their proposal to their committee.
♦
Once the proposal hearing has been completed, committee members will either pass the student, pass with revisions or no pass. In the case of a ‘no pass,’ the committee chair will work with the student until the product is acceptable to the committee. If after several revisions (up to 3), the committee finds the proposal unacceptable, the candidate will not be permitted to continue in the doctoral program.
8-27-02
27
♦
The dissertation proposal should also be submitted for Human Subjects approval at the institution of the committee chair. The Graduate Division will not accept dissertations that include material obtained or produced without an approved Human Subjects Protocol.
♦
Upon acceptance by the committee, a Dissertation Proposal Approval form will be signed by all committee members and sent to the JDP office at SDSU or USD (wherever the chair resides). They will in turn send the form to the Graduate Division in the case of a SDSU chair, and to the Dean’s office at USD. In addition, the original will be placed in the candidates file at the JDP office at SDSU.
♦
Once the candidate receives formal approval from the dissertation committee and the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (at the university in which the chair resides), she/he can begin work on the dissertation.
WRITING THE DISSERTATION Candidates are advised to work closely with their dissertation chair during the research process and the writing of the dissertation. Depending on the type of research conducted, completing a dissertation can take anywhere from one to two years. As the time of completion gets closer, candidates often refer to the doctoral handbook to ensure timeliness in executing the proper paperwork and accuracy in following established procedures. At this point, it is also important that candidates closely follow the deadlines for submitting USD and SDSU Petitions for Graduation. (Please refer to the SDSU and USD Graduate Bulletin for posted deadlines each semester). Specific guidelines for writing and preparation of the dissertation can be found in the Dissertation Handbook (which is currently in press at the time of this printing). Candidates will be notified in advance of the procedures for obtaining a Dissertation Handbook.
DISSERTATION DEFENSE After the data collection and analysis phase of the research, a complete dissertation including all required chapters is submitted for committee review.
When the dissertation chair and
committee members determine that the dissertation is ready to be defended, the candidate 8-27-02
28
should obtain a Petition for Defense of the Dissertation form. This form should be completed and on file at least 4 weeks in advance of the requested date. Candidates whose dissertation chair resides at SDSU will turn in the form to the JDP office at SDSU. Candidates whose dissertation chair resides at USD must turn in their form to the JDP office at USD. Accompanying this form should be a 350 word abstract of the dissertation that has been approved by the dissertation chair. The abstract must be reviewed by the committee chair and becomes a part of the dissertation document. It is the candidate’s responsibility to work with the administrative support personnel at each institution to confirm the date and secure a room for the defense. A room will NOT be reserved if the form is incomplete or missing signatures, or the approved abstract is not included.
Original copies of the form will be placed in the
candidates file in the JDP office at SDSU.
DISSERTATION DEFENSE ANNOUNCEMENT Two weeks prior to the dissertation defense, the candidate will prepare a formal announcement for the dissertation defense. Candidates should follow the guidelines in the JDP offices at SDSU and USD. The defense will be held on the campus where the dissertation chair resides. The candidate provides the JDP office with an approved abstract (of approximately 350 words), two weeks prior to the defense, along with one copy of the dissertation.
Dissertation Defense: It is recommended that the candidate visit the room assigned to them in advance to ensure that the room meets their needs and can be set up appropriately. In addition, candidates should make arrangements for any electronic needs they have at the time they submit the Petition for Defense. Arriving early on the day of the defense is always a good idea as well to make sure there are no unforeseen schedule conflicts or problems with the room. Although it primarily involves the committee, the defense is open to all interested faculty and students at both universities. At the defense, the candidate has an opportunity to present an overview of his/her work. In addition, the process involves a briefing of the committee on the findings followed by questions germane to the topic. Possible discussion may ensue related to future activity of the candidate in the area being investigated. The dissertation chair facilitates the meeting in which the dissertation is defended. 8-27-02
29
Following the discourse the candidate and guests leave the room, and the committee deliberates and reaches a decision to pass or fail the candidate. If the committee approves the dissertation or approves with revisions, committee members must sign eight original copies of the Dissertation Defense Approval form (the candidate should take the copies of the form with them to the defense and give them to the dissertation chair prior to the start of the defense). A copy of this form is kept in the candidates file (and should be given to the appropriate program office where the defense is held). The other originals are placed after the title page in the seven bound copies of the dissertation to be distributed. If the committee does not approve, the chair keeps the forms until the dissertation is approved. If the dissertation is not approved, the committee must decide about the changes necessary to receive full approval, or if the candidate should be terminated from the program. The candidate is responsible for working with the chair to make any significant written changes to receive final approval. After any final changes are made the candidate submits the complete original dissertation to the chair for final approval. Upon receipt of the approval the candidate is responsible for obtaining at least seven copies of the dissertation, in addition to the original. Appropriate procedures for formatting and binding dissertations can be found in the Dissertation Handbook. It is the candidate’s responsibility to make sure that the completed forms are filed properly. If the JDP office does not have the final approval form, a candidate’s graduation from the Joint Doctoral Program could be delayed. Candidates who are unable to successfully complete the dissertation will not graduate from the Joint Doctoral Program.

ACADEMIC CALENDAR Due to the nature of this program, with two institutions operating under a single pay method, the correct academic calendar (with the exception of spring break) to follow is that of the University of
San
Diego.
The
USD
calendar
can
be
accessed
via
the
website,
http://www.sandiego.edu/bulletin/calendar.html.
REGISTRATION To make the entire registration process as easy as possible for students, USD has been designated as the campus where all registration activities will occur. This means that no matter where your classes are physically located (SDSU or USD), all registration will be handled at USD. To register for classes, simply follow these two steps: 1. Since all students are required to take the appropriate concentration courses and the program’s core courses, the USD program manager will automatically enroll you in these mandatory classes each semester.
If for any reason, a student can not enroll in the
designated courses during a specific semester, it is the students responsibility to notify the USD program manager. 2. After you are enrolled in your core and concentration courses you will automatically be billed by USD’s Office of Student Accounts. Please note that the USD program manager will not be able to register you if you have an outstanding balance from a previous semester’s bill. It is the students responsibility to communicated directly with the student accounts office at USD. Elective and Independent Study Options Elective courses and independent study opportunities are designed to provide doctoral students with specific and in-depth examination of topics that will enhance their course of study. A specified number are available through each university for both concentrations. The following outline has been developed to give student’s step-by-step directions on how to proceed with either an elective or an independent study.
8-27-02
32
Registration for electives
To register for elective classes, prior to the two steps outlined above, students must: ♦
Complete the Program Elective Form (Appendix G), which can also be obtained by the advisor or online
♦
Complete the description of the course on the form
♦
Obtain the signature of the instructor (this must occur before the course begins or attendance will not be counted)
♦
Obtain the signatures of the appropriate concentration advisor from the university where the student is taking the elective
♦
Obtain the final signature of the appropriate Joint Doctoral Program Director
♦
Send the form to the USD Program Manager who will register the student in accordance with the Program Elective Form
Copies of the form will be: ♦
Placed in the student’s file in the Joint Doctoral Program office at SDSU
♦
Sent to the advisor at the appropriate institution
♦
Sent to the student
♦
Sent to the appropriate director
The USD Program Manager must receive the signed Program Elective form at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester (dates can be found in the USD course schedule book available each semester).
Registration for Independent Study
To register for an independent study, the following steps must be completed: ♦
Complete the Joint Doctoral Program Independent Study form (Appendix H) which can also be obtained by the advisor or on-line
♦
Obtain the signature of the supervising faculty member. The proposed study must be outlined in detail on the form
♦
Receive approval from the concentration advisor, who then signs the form
♦
Obtain the signature from the appropriate Joint Doctoral Program Director
8-27-02
33
♦
Send the form to the USD Program Manager who will register the student in accordance with the Independent Study form
Copies of the forms will be: ♦
Sent to the appropriate advisor
♦
Sent to the student
♦
Placed in the student’s file
♦
Sent to the supervising faculty member
The USD Program Manager must receive the Independent Study form at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester (dates can be found in the USD course schedule book available each semester). Summary: ♦
The data from all elective and independent study forms will be entered in the electronic database in the Joint Doctoral Program Office.
♦
The forms will be reviewed at the end of the academic year for verification when transcripts are reconciled at both institutions.
Student’s who do not follow these steps to officially enroll for class will not be permitted to remain in the class. Any student who does not officially register for a class will not appear on the official class roster and will not receive a grade for the course. In this instance, students will be required to take a substitute course to fulfill the elective requirement.
TUITION AND FEES As described above, after registering for classes you will automatically be billed by USD’s Office of Student Accounts. For the 2002-03 academic year, tuition and fees is $460 per unit. Although the dollar figure is subject to change based on future increases or decreases in tuition and fees at either of the universities, at the current per unit rate ($460) the total for the 60-unit program works out to approximately $28,000. Students will remain in good standing if they clear their account each semester. Students with an outstanding balance from a previous semester will be blocked from registration. If this occurs, 8-27-02
34
students must call the student accounts office at (619-260 4561) to make arrangements to remove the registration block.
CHANGE OF NAME/ADDRESS Students should complete a “Change of Name” and “Change of Address” form at USD when necessary so university personnel can stay in communication with students throughout the program. Failure to compete this form may result in the student missing important information sent to all students. In addition, when accepted to the program, all students are added to a listserv. It is the students responsibility to notify the program assistants of any change in email address.
FINANCIAL AID Although there are many ways to finance doctoral study, all students are first encouraged to apply for federal financial assistance by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA), available in the Financial Aid Office at USD. After completing the FAFSA and then submitting it to the Office of Financial Aid at USD, students will be notified of their eligibility for federal financial aid, which includes loans, grants, and work-study. In addition to these funding opportunities, students are also encouraged to apply for various types of external support, for which information can be found in either one of the financial aid offices, or on the web. Finally, a limited number of graduate fellowships and assistantships are available at each institution.
Information regarding assistantships/fellowships can be obtained by
contacting the program directors at each institution.
CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT Students are required to maintain continuous enrollment throughout their doctoral studies. Continuous enrollment is defined as a minimum of 1 unit of coursework during the fall and spring semesters. Although students are not required to enroll during intersession or the summer, some required courses may only be taught during these periods and, as such, students will be expected to enroll in these particular courses. After 60 units of credit have been completed, students must continue to enroll for at least one unit of dissertation writing every fall and spring semester until the dissertation is completed. It is the students responsibility to inform the USD program manager of registration plans. Students will be automatically registered in 8-27-02
35
accordance with the Joint Doctoral predetermined schedule, unless written notification is received three weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Students are expected to complete their program within the 60-unit limit. In those rare instances in which this is not possible, students will be required to register for one dissertation unit as previously mentioned. At that point, the tuition rate of $460 no longer applies and students will be required to pay the (more costly) individual unit fee at each institution.
INCOMPLETE GRADES Students who receive a grade of “Incomplete” for a USD course must complete the required work and receive a grade before the end of the tenth week of the next fall or spring semester. For example, students receiving an incomplete, for a USD course, during the spring semester, have until the end of the tenth week of the following fall semester. Students who receive a grade of “Incomplete” for a SDSU course must complete the required work and receive a grade within one year of the end of the course. Failure to complete the required work by this deadline will result in an automatic “F” being recorded in place of the incomplete, and usually results in the student being placed on academic probation.
Please remember that making up an
incomplete is ultimately the student’s responsibility, and failure to do so is not an acceptable excuse for later petitioning to have the “F” removed from your record.
ACADEMIIC PROBATION To remain in good academic standing and to be eligible to graduate, students are required to earn at least a 3.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) each semester that they are enrolled as well as maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). If for any reason either of these two conditions is not met, students will be placed on academic probation. The student’s advisor will then evaluate the student’s progress and recommend a course of action to the two program directors. Students may not continue in the program on academic probation for more than two consecutive semesters, and will be recommended for disqualification from the program, if this occurs. Students receiving a notice of disqualification may appeal to the Dean of the School of Education at USD and the Graduate Dean at SDSU within ten calendar days of receiving such notice.
8-27-02
36
WITHDRAWAL/LEAVE OF ABSENCE Due to the cohort model, it is highly recommended that students do not take a leave of absence, as they will fall behind the cohort and may not be able to take courses that are only offered once in several years. However, in extreme cases, students may withdraw from current courses taken at either university. A petition for leave of absence must be filed in conjunction with a withdrawal if a student plans to remain in the Joint Doctoral Program. However, students withdrawing from their current classes will lose their eligibility for federal financial aid, and depending on the time of their withdrawal, will be required to return either all, or part, of the federal aid they received for the semester. Students who are unable to maintain continuous enrollment need to complete a Leave of Absence (LOA) form from USD. (These forms are available the School of Education at USD). The student’s advisor, both Program Directors, and the Associate Dean of the School of Education at USD, must approve the form. Failure to maintain continuous enrollment will result in suspension from the program. Students must reapply for readmission unless the LOA form is on file and current. Leaves may be granted for up to one year, and only under extreme circumstances will a student be granted a second leave of absence. Due to the cohort-based nature of this program, an individual’s leave of absence will not stop the seven-year time clock from ticking. Students in the dissertation stage are not eligible to take a leave of absence and must maintain continuous enrollment of at least one unit (if 60 units are already completed) in each of the fall and spring semesters until the dissertation has been completed.
TIME LIMITS As with all doctoral programs, this program must be completed within seven years from the date the student first enrolls in the program. Additionally, the dissertation must be completed within three years of advancement to candidacy (please refer to page 23 for policies pertaining to advancement to candidacy). Clearly, for a student to complete the program within seven years they need to be making substantial progress each semester. Failure to complete the program within seven years will result in revocation of candidacy and being dropped from the Joint Doctoral Program.
8-27-02
37
Only in highly unusual circumstances can a student request an extension of the time limit. This must be done in writing and approved by the student’s advisors at both universities and both Directors of the Joint Doctoral Program.
SUMMARY The SDSU-USD Student Doctoral Handbook has been developed as a general set of guidelines for this particular joint program. Its contents have been designed by the joint faculty to provide direction for students, but specific policies and procedures in each institution’s Graduate Bulletin should also be consulted when indicated.
