Policy on Holds

If a student does not attend classes or fails to complete requirements on time the Director may withhold or discontinue stipend payments.

Stipends are awarded for one academic year at a time. If a student leaves the school (or is asked to leave) doctoral stipend payments cease on the first day of the month after that in which a final formal decision concerning the student's status is made

Any student receiving a stipend who for any reason is asked to leave the School may also be asked to repay the amount of stipend already received.
