The Dissertation Presentation is a public event at which the candidate summarizes his or her findings. It may be scheduled only after all requirements except the approval of the dissertation have been satisfied and after a complete draft of the dissertation has been submitted to the supervisor and reader(s). The Presentation should be scheduled during
the regular academic year.
The Presentation is normally followed immediately by the Final Examination, conducted privately in a meeting of the candidate with the Dissertation Committee. The Final Examination is limited to the contents of the Dissertation, and passing the Examination signifies approval of the dissertation. In unusual circumstances, which may be encountered if the candidate has applied for an August degree, the Final Examination may be held at a date later than the Dissertation Presentation, and it may be conducted by telephone if all parties are unable to be present.
