Current:  Has successfully completed all the coursework required for the doctoral degree, as documented by the audiology program;

Suggest:  Has successfully completed all of the didactic coursework required for the doctoral degree as documented by the audiology program;

Rationale:  All students who will apply for provisional licensure (regardless of University affiliation) will necessarily be enrolled in a “course” which will cover the practicum experience for which they require licensure.  This “course” allows them to be enrolled in the University but is not a course which is taught in the classroom (not didactic).  Many students who will apply for provisional licensure will be enrolled in coursework related to their dissertation, thesis, or other research requirement.  This course will be required for graduation, but will not be taught in the classroom (not didactic).  Thus students applying for provisional licensure should have completed all of the courses taught in the classroom (didactic) but not all of the courses (practicum, research, thesis, and dissertation) which are required for the doctoral degree.
