Factors that can result in not graduating include the following:
- Unavailability of the student to participate in the ongoing editing process
- Major formatting errors (see the Handbook)
- Major problems with grammar, spelling, etc.
- Manuscripts that have not been approved by the supervisory committee and department chair
Submissions on the deadline that have any of these problems will not be considered for that semester.
Please take these factors into account when planning defense and graduation dates.
The entire editing process can take 2 or more months to complete, so the earlier a manuscript is submitted, the better the student’s chance of graduating in the desired semester.
