Please note that the following schedule provides the deadlines for the thesis proposal (ENSC 498). You should strive to complete these tasks earlier.
6th week of classes: Initial draft should have been reviewed by your academic and technical supervisors. (If you would like them to review it, you can also give a copy to a communication lecturer and your other committee member at this point.)
8th week of classes: 2nd draft should have been resubmitted to supervisors, if required.
10th week of classes: 3rd draft should have been submitted to all committee members.
12th week of classes: Final draft must be signed off by supervisors and committee member(s). When everyone has signed off, you MUST give a clean draft and the sign-off sheet to Jackie Briggs (Undergraduate Secretary). YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR ENSC 498 UNTIL YOU HAVE PROVIDED THIS COPY TO JACKIE. Please also note: The 12th week of classes is also the deadline for requesting a deferral.
If you are out of town while completing your thesis, be sure to allow sufficient time so you can meet the above deadlines. Also keep in mind that at any stage in the acceptance procedure, the proposal may be returned for revision.
Early in semester: Have met with or contacted committee members to review progress of project.
6th week of classes: Detailed outline or partial draft should have been submitted to your supervisors and the communication lecturer for their initial responses. Any anomalies, such as a reference system other than the author-date system (see Chapter Two), should be approved by your committee and a communication lecturer.
10th week of classes: Final draft submitted to all committee members and communication lecturer.
11th week of classes: Final draft signed off by the communication instructor and the academic supervisor; defense date being arranged and room booked through undergraduate secretary. Note that you should allow at least two weeks between booking a room and the defense.
13th week of classes: Thesis defended.
1st week of exams: Final revisions completed and thesis ready for binding. Note that if you wish to graduate in the semester immediately following your thesis semester, you MUST submit the corrected thesis to Jackie, three full weeks prior to convocation. So if you wish to convocate on June 4th (or October 1st ) , your corrected thesis MUST be submitted by May 14th (or September 10th ) at 4:00 pm in the main office. IF YOUR CORRECTED THESIS IS NOT SUBMITTED BY THIS DEADLINE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GRADUATE.
Note that the above schedule assumes that ENSC 498 and ENSC 499 are completed in different semesters. If you are taking ENSC 498 and ENSC 499 at the same time, you must work out a schedule of deadlines with your committee members and a communication lecturer.
Also note that the above schedule only allows one week for the communication lecturer to read and sign-off your thesis. This schedule is only possible if you have previously had a significant portion of your thesis reviewed and have revised the rest accordingly. If you first hand in your thesis to the communication lecturer in the 10th week of classes and major revisions are required, you will not be able to defend by the 13th week of classes, and you may have your graduation delayed.
