The deadline for submission of Nominations for External Examiner for PhD candidates wanting to complete on the timeline for Spring 2022 Graduation is this week, Friday, November 26.
This is a flexible deadline, and there is still time for students to submit those forms. They should come in by the end of next week to reduce the likelihood of a delay in the invitation process.

As a reminder, the other dates candidates need to meet are as follows:

• FRIDAY, 28 JANUARY 2022 – Doctoral dissertation (and supporting documentation) submitted to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for external examination
• FRIDAY 25 MARCH – Last Day for Final Doctoral Oral Examination
• FRIDAY, 22 APRIL – Acceptance of final, approved doctoral dissertation by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

The deadlines for April 30, 2022 Program end date are quite similar to these dates; it is important for students who want to participate in the Spring Graduation Ceremony to meet the timeline.

Students will be able to choose to defend either in person or on Zoom. We will work with students to select the most appropriate mode for their defense.

Please distribute this email to any faculty or students you think may be interested.

Best,

Robyn
