What are the consequences of failing any part of the exam twice?
Departmental rules state, “If a student fails any part of the DE on the second attempt, he/she will receive no further GTA or GRA support beyond that semester.” Once support is removed for failure on the Departmental exam it cannot be reinstated except by a vote of the full faculty. A student who has failed the exam twice may continue in our program without financial support but is encouraged to seek other career choices.
