Graduating

The Laney degree requirements can be found at

http://www.graduateschool.emory.edu/academics/completion/index.html

Here are some of the important highlights.

Timeline:

• August 1 (Before your 5th year)
• Dissertation Committee form
  • (or > 1 semester before graduating) Apply for Candidacy - requirements are coursework and qualifying exams
  • The candidacy form is provided as a .docx on the LGS website. I have created and uploaded a .pdf fillable form here. (The .tex file and LGS logo image file are also available, in the case that this form changes.)
  • http://www.graduateschool.emory.edu/uploads/academics/policies/Dissertation%20Committee%20Form.pdf
• Early in Semester Graduating
  • Application for Degree
    • May be submitted even if you are not sure whether or not you'll graduate that semester.
    • Must resubmit if submitted previously.
    • May be done on OPUS or with paper form
• Later, but not at the end, of Semester Graduating
  • (Before submitting the rest) Submit dissertation electronically to the Electronic Theses and Dissertations Repository, or ETD.
  • Complete the Dissertation Title Submission Form. This is for commencement.
  • Bring to the LGS office:
    • A Report of Completion of the Requirements for Doctoral / Master's Degree
    • A printed copy of your thesis or dissertation
    • An Electronic Theses and Dissertations Repository Submission Agreement.
    • A ProQuest/UMI Publishing Agreement
    • One extra copy of your title page and of your abstract.
    • Printed certificates of completion for one or two online surveys: the Graduate Education Exit Survey and the Survey of Earned Doctorates
    • A check book to pay for the ProQuest publishing.
• Before leaving campus:
  • For the academic year in which you are graduating, Terry needs your final exams and excel grade books (in case anyone wants to contest their grades.)
