Things to Consider...
Make sure your coursework has not expired:
- All program coursework must be completed within seven consecutive years. Coursework taken more than seven years ago (but less than 10 years ago) at the time of graduation will require a Validation of Outdated Coursework form.
- Courses taken 10 years prior to time of graduation will be considered expired and cannot be counted toward program completion.
Finished with coursework prior to graduation? Ensure that you are enrolled in units during your last semester:
- If you are working on a thesis or project, but are no longer in coursework, enroll in 7005 Special Registration.
- If you are working on a dissertation, but are no longer in coursework, enroll in 7007 Special Registration.
- If you are completing comprehensive exams, but are no longer in coursework, enroll in 7006 Special Registration.
