Spring 2022 Semester Deadlines

Students required to nominate their special committee, attempt the admission to candidacy (A exam), or complete Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training by the end of the spring 2022 semester need to take immediate action and

• complete the requirement or
• submit an online General Petition form to request an extension (not accepted for RCR training). 

The appropriate action must be taken by May 21st to avoid a registration hold for Fall 2022.

Summer Registration

All research students, except those taking a vacation from research activities and work toward degree progress, must be registered and enrolled in research credits for the summer term by May 20th. Summer registration is especially critical for students receiving financial aid (fellowships, summer loans, assistantships, travel grants, or tuition awards) during the summer. There is no charge for summer registration.

• To register, enroll in the Graduate School’s Graduate Summer Research course, GRAD 9016 (class numbers 1047, 1048, 1049, 1050), through Student Center. You will not be automatically enrolled by the Graduate School. 

If you are uncertain of your summer plans we recommend waiting until May to enroll, otherwise we encourage students to register now before the May 20th deadline.
