Instructions for Scheduling Orals
- The
student is responsible for scheduling a date with their Orals committee.
Student should first check with the Graduate Administrator before
scheduling Orals.
- If the
student is unable to resolve a mutual Orals date with the committee, then
the student should speak with J. T. Denicola, Administrative Assistant for
Faculty Affairs (jd2091, 4-7000), who will then take responsibility for
organizing a date with the committee.
- Once a
date has been set, Sharee M. Nash,
Graduate Administrator (smn2, 4-7001), will find a location, send out a
formal announcement of the date to the committee, and prepare Orals
paperwork to be delivered to the chair of the committee the day before the
defense is to take place. Ms. Nash will send out a reminder to committee
members and the student two days before the scheduled exam.
- After
the defense, the Oral examination paperwork should be returned to the
Graduate Administrator, who will then document the results and file the
application for the degree of M.Phil with Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences.
- Upon
successful defense of the Oral exam, the student should see the Graduate
Administrator to request that their name be placed on the roster for a
post-MPhil study space in Butler Library.
