Summer session is only just beginning but it’s already time for doctoral candidates to start thinking about examination timelines for fall graduation. If there are students in your program who may be aiming to graduate in November 2017 then we ask that you make them aware of these deadlines:
· Friday, June 2, 2017 – Nominations for External Examiner form submitted to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
· Friday, July 28, 2017 – Doctoral dissertation and supporting documentation submitted to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for external examination.
· Friday, September 29, 2017 – Last day for final doctoral oral examinations.
· Friday, October 20, 2017 – Last day for acceptance of final, approved doctoral dissertation by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
Students who are hoping to make Fall 2017 Graduation but are concerned about their ability to meet any of the above deadlines should contact the Doctoral Exams team as soon as possible at graduate.doctoral@ubc.ca.
