If circumstances require an extension, the Gallery Director should be notified immediately. Since the galleries are scheduled a year in advance, an attempt to provide the usual space on an alternate date will be made but not guaranteed. The Graduate Committee must approve all work the student intends to present to the Thesis Exhibition. It is the prerogative of the committee to postpone scheduled exhibitions if the work in question does not, in the judgement of the committee, meet appropriate standards. Thesis Orals Orals are required of all students.
Orals are open to the public.
Any deviation from this policy must be approved by the student's Graduate Committee. These are normally drawn from the faculty. The thesis is meant to provide others with additional access to the ideas which generate the work. Supervisory Committee must approve the final thesis two weeks prior to the scheduled date of the students orals. If these are approved, five thesis title sheets are signed.
