Copies of the proposal must be in the hands of the Committee at least one week prior to the scheduled meeting. Allow three working days for distribution. A copy of the proposal outline is submitted to the Department Assistant who will notify all Department faculty of the presentation date and time, and make extra copies of the proposal available for faculty as needed. The faculty may make recommendations and suggestions to the student and the Advisory Committee, however, final approval or disapproval of the proposed dissertation rests with the student's Advisory Committee. Students registered for ECON 6000 are required to attend and participate in the Economics Workshops.
Continuous enrollment is required for all Doctoral students until graduation.
The Graduate College requires that doctoral students complete their program within seven years of the date of first enrollment in the doctoral program. In the event a student cannot complete their program in seven years an appeal for an extension can be made to the Graduate College, Director of Student Academic Services. However, these appeals are not always granted, so students are encouraged to complete within the seven year period.
