Attention: Doctoral students

The deadline for submission of Nominations for External Examiner for PhD candidates wanting to complete on the timeline for August 31 completion was last Friday, April 12. While this is a slightly flexible deadline, forms should really be in by Friday this week, to avoid delays.

Please note, these are the deadlines for candidates who want to complete their program by the end of summer semester.

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

FRIDAY, 14 JUNE 2024 – Doctoral dissertation (and supporting documentation) submitted to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for external examination. Note this is quite a tight turnaround; late submissions may miss the following deadlines.

FRIDAY, 2 AUGUST 2024 – Last Day for Final Doctoral Oral Examination

FRIDAY, 30 AUGUST 2024 – Acceptance of final, approved doctoral dissertation by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

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 defence.

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

Best,

Robyn
