Undertaking the Dissertation

Once you have been admitted to candidacy, you are now officially approved to undertake your dissertation study. If it involves human subjects (wherever they may be located) the University Human Subjects Review Board must approve your proposed research. (click here for details)

     While undertaking the dissertation, you must be continuously enrolled in ERDG899.

    
      Note: Any request for replacing the chair of the dissertation committee, initiated by either the candidate or the incumbent Chair must be submitted as a formal request to the Department, who may approve or deny the request.
