Before scheduling my oral thesis defense date, I confirm that my committee has received my final written thesis project and that my chair/advisor has seen and approved all chapters and revisions associated with the project. I also confirm that my other committee members/readers, at a minimum, have seen and had time to review the final draft.
My committee has not yet received my final written thesis project. I understand that this step must occur before I can proceed with scheduling my final oral thesis defense.
Oral thesis defenses are expected to be conducted in-person. However, there may be times when a committee member is unavailable in-person or lives out of the area, which may require a virtual meeting option. Please select one of the following:
*
All of my committee members will be present in Columbia for an in-person defense.
One or more of my committee members may be unavailable for an in-person defense. I may need to request a virtual meeting option via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
