Thesis Defense Timeline Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 Fall 2007 Thesis Defense Deadline: December 5 Spring 2008 Thesis Defense Deadline: April 25 Graduate students and graduate advisory committees must be in constant communication during the thesis preparation and defense period. Good planning early in the term will alleviate last minute difficulties by allowing the committee members to review the thesis draft and to plan the defense or examination to suit the student and committee’s schedule. It is important to arrange for the defense in a timely manner to avoid the risk of committee members being unavailable due to finals and other obligations. To assist in planning the graduate student’s final semester, we recommend the following guidelines and dates:
A final reminder: To be considered a Fall 2007 graduate, a student must successfully defend by December 5. Corrections to the thesis must be submitted to the Library and the completed Check-Out List submitted to the the Graduate Office by January 30. To participate in May Commencement, a student expecting to complete degree requirements in Spring 2008 must successfully defend by April 25. Corrections to the thesis must be submitted to the Library and the completed Check-Out List submitted to the Graduate Office by June 30 to be considered a Spring 2008 graduate. If the January 30 or June 30 Registrar’s Office deadline is not met, the student will be required to enroll for 1 credit and their degree will be posted on their transcript for the appropriate semester of completion.
