Beginning
of Last Semester
Arrange
for Portfolio or Final Defense - This needs to be
done early in your last semester. For the masters students,
you need to also have your portfolio complete and email
your url to your advisor early in your last semester.
Your advisor must approve your portfolio before it is
released to your committee. Applied projects will also
need to have defenses scheduled early in your last semester.
Obviously, your project needs to be reviewed by your advisor
early in the semester so that the committee can have two
weeks before the final defense. Failure to do so will
result in your defense being cancelled and postponed to
the next semester (resulting you having to pay more tuition).
