Comprehensive Exams are scheduled according to student need.

They will pay the standard tuition and records fee for this support and to re-sit the exam.
PLEASE NOTE: Failure to take a required course when one is offered may prevent a student from completing his/her program in the allotted time, as all course work must be completed before a student will be allowed to advance to the dissertation phase of the program. Schedules are subject to change.
