Responsibilities and Deadlines
It is the responsibility of
each graduate student to know and follow the procedures outlined in
this catalog and to abide by established deadlines. See individual
master's programs and concentrations for specific degree requirements.
- Upon acceptance, meet with the assigned advisor as soon as possible to establish the program of study.
- Register for thesis or research paper as required. Deadline: the
last acceptable registration date is the semester in which the student
expects to receive his or her degree.
- Apply for graduation. File your application for graduation with
the Registrar's Office. Students are responsible for ordering their own cap and gown.
Note: If a student fails to complete the necessary requirements for
graduation, the application for graduation will not automatically be
forwarded to the next commencement date.
- Take comprehensive written and/or oral examination under the
direction of the major advisor or advisory committee. Deadline: no
later than four weeks before commencement.
- Submit
theses and research papers in final form to Office of the Provost and
Dean of Graduate Studies three weeks prior to graduation. At this time
the
binding/microfilming fee must be paid.
