For MSc Students
(1) Successful completion of the low level comprehensive examination by the end of the student's third academic term.
(2) Minimum average of 70% in each course listed on the student's transcript while enrolled in the Medical Biophysics graduate program.
(3) Satisfactory progress throughout their course work and research as noted on their advisory committee meeting reports.
All advisory committee reports must be signed by the student, supervisor(s), and committee members and submitted to the Medical Biophysics graduate office
For PhD Students
(1) Successful completion of the low and mid level comprehensive examinations.
low level - completed by the end of the third term of registration
mid level - completed by the end of the third year of PhD studies
(2) Minimum average of 70% in each course listed on the student's transcript while enrolled in the Medical Biophysics graduate program.
(3) If PhD admission is based on completion of a previous MSc degree, then a successful PhD proposal defense must be completed by the end of the first year of studies.
(4) If a current student re-classifies from MSc to PhD status then successful completion of a reclassification meeting must be in place before PhD status is officially noted on the student's transcript.
All official documentation tracking item (3) or (4) must be signed by the student, supervisor(s), and committee members and submitted to the Medical Biophysics graduate office.
All advisory committee reports must be signed by the student, supervisor(s), and committee members and submitted to the Medical Biophysics graduate office.
After all of the above requirements have been met then students may proceed to their thesis preparation and subsequent defense.
