The deadline for submission of Nominations for External Examiner for PhD candidates wanting to complete on the timeline for December 31, 2020 Program Completion is this Friday, August 21. The deadline for these forms is a little flexible, but 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, 16 OCTOBER 2020 – Doctoral dissertation (and supporting documentation) submitted to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for external examination.
• MONDAY, 14 DECEMBER, 2020 – Last Day for Final Doctoral Oral Examination
• FRIDAY, 8 JANUARY, 2021 – Acceptance of final, approved doctoral dissertation by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

We also have an information session about the Virtual Defence process on August 26. This session has been advertised in the regular Monday updates from GradUpdate, and interested students can register online.

Best,
Robyn
