  11. Where do I find my deadline dates?

  12. I need to talk to the Thesis / Dissertation Consultant. Do I need an appointment?

    It is a good idea to make appointments with the Thesis/ Dissertation Consultant at least a month before your deadline date. Come into the office, or email the Thesis/Dissertation Consultant for an appointment. There is a period lasting 1–2 weeks before the submission deadline date where appointments are not available. Meetings are given on a first-come, first-serve basis during this time.

  13. How do I go about taking a Leave of Absence?

    Graduate students may take a "Leave of Absence" for no longer than a year. This means that the student will not be taking classes. To request a Leave of Absence, the student's major advisor must write a letter to The Graduate School, Attn: Dr. Kay Reed. The letter should include the student's name, student ID number, the length of absence, and the reason for the request.
