IMPORTANT: if you plan on defending in the next semester, talk with April Wooten in the Grad Office ASAP
There are additional departmental procedures, forms, and deadlines that need to be coordinated with the Grad Office to graduate on time!
Verify all deadlines and procedures on Graduate School Manuscript Clearance website
60-Day Deadline: All manuscripts must be cleared within 60 days after a successful defense. A manuscript is considered cleared when the Clearance Advisor has approved the formatting and received and verified all forms. If a student defends early in the semester of graduation, or in a semester prior to graduation, the manuscript clearance deadline that applies is the 60-day deadline. For example, a student that defends on August 20 would have to have their manuscript cleared by October 20, even though the Fall semester clearance deadline is later in the semester. No exceptions will be made for this policy.
See the Graduation page for many more details.
