An announcement of the final examination must be made to all SFWS faculty and graduate students at least one week prior to the examination. Typically, SFWS faculty and graduate students are invited to attend the first part. Members of the Graduate Faculty not on the advisory committee may attend any oral examination as visitors. However, only Committee members may participate in questioning of the candidate. The oral examination will be scheduled no later than the deadline indicated in the Graduate School Calendar.
Successful completion requires the unanimous support of all members of the advisory committee.
If a student fails the examination, one re-examination may be given on the recommendation of the advisory committee and approval by the Dean of the Graduate School. Further examinations will be allowed only under exceptional circumstances and with the approval of the Graduate Council. The quarter before you plan to graduate, you must complete a graduation check by the Graduate School. Their representative will ensure that you have completed all that is necessary for graduation.
