Candidates are eligible to apply to take the comprehensive examination when they:

1. have met the residency requirements for their program.
2. are in good academic standing, and
3. have departmental approval.

Candidates must be enrolled at the time the comprehensive examination is to be taken. The students should consult and work closely with their academic advisor to seek preparation guidelines and to schedule the examination dates.

Typically, some programs divide comprehensive examinations into sections and have set requirements for passage of each section. No matter how the exams are delivered, comprehensive examinations may be repeated only once.
