<strong>University</strong>’s income from tuition, charges<br />
for research required for the Eng.Sc.D.<br />
are assessed as given below.<br />
Ph.D. candidates should consult the<br />
bulletin of the Graduate School of Arts<br />
and Sciences for the research instruction<br />
requirements that apply to them.<br />
An Eng.Sc.D. candidate is required<br />
to do the following:<br />
1.At the time the student begins doctoral<br />
research, the student is eligible to<br />
register for E9800 (3, 6, 9, or 12<br />
points of credit). Twelve points must<br />
have been accumulated by the time<br />
the student is to receive the degree.<br />
2.Registration for E9800 at a time other<br />
than that prescribed above is not permitted,<br />
except by written permission<br />
of the Dean.<br />
3.Although 12 points of E9800 are<br />
required for the doctoral degree, no<br />
part of this credit may count toward<br />
the minimum residence requirement<br />
of 30 points (or 60 points beyond the<br />
bachelor’s degree).<br />
4.If a student is required to take course<br />
work beyond the minimum residence<br />
requirements, the 12 points of doctoral<br />
research instruction must still be taken<br />
in addition to the required course work.<br />
5.A student must register continuously<br />
through the autumn and spring terms.<br />
This requirement does not include the<br />
summer session.<br />
Completion of Requirements<br />
The requirements for the Eng.Sc.D.<br />
degree must be completed in no more<br />
than seven years. The seven-year time<br />
period begins at the time the student<br />
becomes a candidate for the Eng.Sc.D.<br />
degree or a candidate for the professional<br />
degree, whichever occurs first,<br />
and extends to the date on which the<br />
dissertation defense is held.<br />
Extension of the time allowed for<br />
completion of the degree may be granted<br />
on recommendation of the student’s<br />
sponsor and the department chairman<br />
to the Dean when special circumstances<br />
warrant. Such extensions are initiated<br />
by submitting a statement of work in<br />
progress and a schedule for completion<br />
together with the sponsor’s recommendation<br />
to the department chairman.<br />
SPECIAL NONDEGREE<br />
STUDENTS<br />
Qualified persons who are not interested<br />
in a degree program but who wish only<br />
to take certain courses may be permitted<br />
to register as special students, provided<br />
facilities are available.<br />
Many graduate courses in The Fu<br />
Foundation School of Engineering and<br />
Applied Science are offered in the late<br />
afternoon and evening in order to make<br />
them available to working individuals<br />
who wish to further their knowledge in<br />
the areas of engineering and applied<br />
science. Individuals who find it difficult<br />
or impossible to attend classes on the<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> campus may be able to<br />
receive instruction from the School<br />
through the <strong>Columbia</strong> Video Network<br />
without leaving their work sites.<br />
Individuals interested in this program<br />
should read the section describing the<br />
CVN, which follows in this bulletin.<br />
Special students receive grades and<br />
must maintain satisfactory attendance<br />
and performance in classes or laboratories<br />
and will be subject to the same<br />
rules as degree candidates. Should a<br />
special student decide to pursue a<br />
degree program, work completed as a<br />
special student may be considered for<br />
advanced standing, but no more than<br />
15 points of course work completed<br />
as a special student may be counted<br />
toward a graduate degree.<br />
For additional information and regulations<br />
pertaining to special students, see<br />
“Graduate Admissions.”<br />
