General Graduation Guidelines:
Prior to the start of the semester in which you anticipate to graduate you should review the instructions below. This will help ensure that you have met all of the requirements necessary before graduation. The following are general guidelines to consider when verifying your graduation eligibility:
- Create a request via GSSE Track-it for a graduation check to the Graduate School, at least one month prior to the semester you intend to graduate. Graduate School staff will review your KUSIS profile to verify that you have met all course requirements to graduate. You will be informed if you need to take additional courses or if you have other missing requirements. This will provide you with sufficient time to register for the necessary courses during your final semester.
- You will receive emails from the Graduate School during the start of each term regarding graduation deadlines. These emails will contain the important deadlines for graduation. Please pay careful attention to these deadlines.
Please notify the Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering regarding the below requirements before the thesis defense:
- Thesis jury members must be appointed and the names must be sent to Graduate School 3 weeks before the thesis defense date by the filling the “Thesis Jury Appointment Form” which can be found below.
- Send your copy of whole thesis as a report with the thesis submission form to all thesis jury members at least 10 days (for PhD) and a week (for MS thesis) prior to the thesis defense date.
