Dear
Master's students,
Those of you who are finishing up a
thesis or project in either spring 2013 or summer 2013 semesters will
want to review the time lines for the semester, "Deadlines" in red type
on http://ssb.gmu.edu/students.html
Students completing a thesis are required to meet with the
Special Collections Librarian at Fenwick library for a format review,
so get started on that now. The library has some new information and
any upcoming workshops posted
here. Schedule your thesis defense with your committee
members early - don't wait until March or April to try and contact your
committee members! Once you have the OK to go ahead with the defense
from your Committee Chair find out if you are expected to arrange the
defense meeting. If so, I suggest using an online scheduling tool such
as doodle.com.
Students finishing up a project will schedule oral and written
comprehensive exams with their Committee Chair. Please schedule those
exams now since faculty will not be available if you wait until March
or April ! Keep in mind that spring break is March 11-15 and some
faculty will be unavailable during that week.
If you will finish your thesis in summer 2013, you'll need to
register for at least one credit of BIOL 799 in summer. There is no
need to register in summer unless you will graduate in that term.
Project students who have registered for BIOL 798 in spring 2013
but will finish the project requirements in summer will fill out the
"Special Registration" form to graduate in summer term. It's found on
the Registrar's website noted below.
File for graduation now using Patriot Web
- details are found on http://registrar.gmu.edu/graduation/index.html
Any questions after reading the appropriate websites, please let me
know.
thank you,
Diane St. Germain
