! ! Revised 2/11
Evaluation of Advanced Standing of a Doctoral Student
INSTRUCTIONS TO CHAIRPERSON OR GRADUATE PROGRAM DIRECTOR: This two-page form has been designed
with the objective of documenting completed, advanced coursework taken elsewhere that is applicable to the current
doctoral program. Such work may be an integral part of a Master’s degree earned at another university; therefore,
the work would not be written in detail to the SLU permanent record as “transfer credit.” In general, the coursework
is recognized as partially fulfilling post baccalaureate requirements in anticipation of preliminary examinations for
the doctorate. To be eligible for “advanced standing,” the doctoral student named below already must have
completed at least six (6) credit-hours of advanced (SLU) work in residence. Toward updating the student’s record,
you are to fill in the appropriate blanks below and check boxes as warranted. Space is provided on the reverse side
of the form for the detailing of individual, advanced courses and other academic work taken elsewhere that you find
acceptable toward fulfillment of doctoral-degree requirements. If an entire Master’s degree program is acceptable,
then so indicate below. The student may bring the form to you and request the evaluation; if deferment of the
evaluation is desired, check the last box on this side of the form and indicate when you expect to be able to complete
the evaluation. Date and sign the form in the spaces provided on the reverse side, and forward the form to the
Dean/Director of your College/School/Center.
