There are several
final formalities (e.g., application for degree) listed in the tables
of §§2,3,7
that need attention at the Graduate School when one plans to
complete a graduate degree.
Failure to attend to these by appropriate deadlines may
postpone the granting of the degree. As a safeguard, a good rule of thumb is:
any student who plans to receive a graduate degree at the end of a given
semester should report to the Graduate School at the beginning of the
previous semester
to ascertain what final procedures need attention.
