The final examination will not be authorized for any doctoral student who has not been admitted to candidacy and whose proposal has not been approved. If you’re unsure about the status of these requirements, you can run a degree evaluation in Howdy and check under the additional information section of the report. In addition, consult the catalog regarding the final examination requirements for Master’s and Doctoral candidates. After coordinating with your committee and committee chair, submit a completed  Request and Announcement of Final Exam  to Graduate & Professional School.
