** NOTE: Upon achieving Doctoral Candidacy, the student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for EDUC 997 (Dissertation Guidance) until the Dissertation is completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for review.  The course is used only when the curriculum has been completed, candidacy has been achieved, and the student is completing the research and writing of the Dissertation. The EDUC 997 course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student is registered for 3 credit hours and the system reports a full-time 9 credit hour load).  

After the Intent to Defend the Dissertation form has been received by the School of Graduate Studies, this course registration will be changed to EDUC 998 (Dissertation Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (EDUC 998 will also count as 9 credits of load).  EDUC 997 will not count toward curricular credits. Other courses cannot be substituted for EDUC 997 (Dissertation Guidance). The only eligible grade for EDUC 997 (Dissertation Guidance) is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for EDUC 998 (Dissertation Defense) is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
