  9. Administrative Considerations • Really Important forms (http://www.unm.edu/~grad/) • M.S./MCM - “Program of Studies” • Submit by these dates: for Fall graduation, 7/1; for Spring graduation, 10/1; & for Summer graduation, 3/1) • Submit after 18-21 credits • Ph.D. - “Application for Candidacy” - After passing Comprehensive Exam • Project/Thesis/Dissertation Defense, & M.S./MCM Comp. Exams • Notify OGS > at least 2 weeks before date of defense/exam • “Dept.Intent to Graduate” form to CE Dept. (7/20, 12/5, 5/2)

  10. “Gotcha” Requirements • “I” grades become “F” grades after 1 year • Students can’t defend their Project, Thesis, or Dissertation if their GPA < 3.0 • Once enrolled in CE 599 (Thesis) or CE 699 (Dissertation), students must continue to enroll in these classes until graduation • Students must be enrolled at UNM during the semester in which they intend to graduate

  11. Project/Thesis/Dissertation • Committees must have  2 CE faculty • Ph.D. Committee must have 1 outside member • Work with major professor to select Committee • Committee Members outside of UNM must be approved by OGS - takes ~1 month. • Difference between project & Thesis: • Gray area • Thesis must satisfy OGS requirements & appears in UNM library • Students supported by UNM expected to do thesis

  12. Project/Thesis/Dissertation • Publish your work • Plagiarism
