And it will allow for fair flexibility while maintaining the integrity of the final defense or exam as a current final milestone. If a graduate student does not complete degree requirements within an academic year (for example, spring + summer + fall) of completing a final defense or examination, the academic unit must submit a petition to the Graduate School that explains the extenuating circumstances that warrant approving the expired d...
