Changes to the plan of study will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies. The student and the advisor will sign the form submitted to the School of Graduate Studies.

Year 2, Fourth Semester (Spring, Year 2): 9 Credits


Year 3, Sixth Semester (Spring, Year 3): 3 Credits

Note


Guidance and Pre-Candidacy cannot be used to fulfill academic, curricular credits. The course is used only when the curriculum has been completed, and the student is completing the research and writing of the thesis. The course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student. GRAD 797 or 997 must be repeated until the completed thesis is deposited with the School of Graduate Studies. Other courses cannot be substituted for Dissertation/Thesis Guidance. The only eligible grade for GRAD 793, 797, 993, 997 is the grade of S.
