Policies and Procedures:
|
Students pursuing an advanced degree through the university should, before completing 20 quarter units toward the degree (36 quarter units for programs over 70 units), prepare and file an official document titled "an approved graduate program" with the department from which they plan to receive the degree. This program lists the specific requirements to be completed before the degree can be awarded. It must be approved by the student's major advisor and the graduate coordinator of the student's program. Once the program is accepted and approved, the student is officially advanced to degree candidacy. |
