Take Dissertation Defense Exam B

Upon achieving Doctoral Candidacy, the student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for EEGR 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 EEGR 9697 course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student is registered for 3 credit hour and they 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 EEGR 998 (Dissertation Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (EEGR 998 will also count as 9 credits of load).  EEGR 997  will not count toward curricular credits.  Other courses cannot be substituted for EEGR 997 (Dissertation Guidance).  The only eligible grade for EEGR 997 (Dissertation Guidance) is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for EEGR 998 (Dissertation Defense) is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
