Annual Perfomance Reviews

The Graduate College requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 for academic eligibility; however, the School of Accountancy requires a higher GPA requirement of 3.25. Students who fail to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25, or otherwise fail to achieve satisfactory progress in the program, may have their financial support suspended, and may be placed on academic probation. See the University of Missouri-Columbia Graduate Catalogue for additional information on academic probation and dismissal.

Each summer, the Ph.D. Program Director (with advice from the Ph.D. Policy Committee) evaluates the annual performance of doctoral students in the course work stage of the Ph.D. program and prepares a written report to each student. Follow-up meetings may also be held at the Director's discretion. Information on student performance is solicited from the entire faculty. The Director of the School of Accountancy conducts teaching evaluations.

The dissertation chair is responsible for evaluating the progress of students at the dissertation stage. Any problems should be reported immediately to the Ph.D. Program Director and the Director of the School of Accountancy.
