Overview
Early in each semester or summer term, there is a deadline for submitting the “Master’s Application for Degree” to the Graduate School. Master’s candidates are required to submit the “Application for Degree” forms by the semester’s calendar deadline. On these forms, a student lists all coursework taken that applies toward the degree. Submission of the application carries with it the implication that the student intends to graduate in the semester stipulated.
Masters students who have submitted graduation paperwork indicating a thesis track are not allowed to switch to a non-thesis status in the semester of graduation.
