Scheduling Graduate Exams

At the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters, the Program Coordinator will send consult with the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies to determine which students are taking exams.

The Committee Chair (CC) for each student sends the Program Coordinator confirmation of the exam and the members of the student's committee members or, if the student is not taking the stated exam, information on when the exam will be taken.

The CC meets with the student to discuss the exam format. Please refer to Graduate Program Exam FAQs How my exams are scheduled? For Ph.D. dissertation and graduation information go to Deadlines for Doctoral Degree Candidates.

One week prior to the start of the exam the CC sends the questions to the PA in the order they are to be given to the student.

To schedule the oral exams it is imperative the Program Coordinator is given a minimum two weeks notice Prior to an Oral Exam or Ph.D. Defense.
