Exams & Milestones

Please plan to formally schedule any exams at least 2 weeks in advance!

The information below details how to schedule exams with The Graduate School and The ECE Graduate Office.

Master’s Thesis students: 

To initiate the final exam scheduling process, students must have:

  • An approved committee in the MyPack Portal
  • A completed degree audit (all coursework is completed/in-progress); if you believe that you have completed your degree requirements but there are red X’s on your degree audit, please check with your Graduate Services Coordinator (GSC)

Doctoral students: Please review​ The Graduate School ETD Webpage thoroughly.

To initiate the Qualifying Review exam scheduling process, students must email the ECE Graduate office within 5 business days with the following information:

  • Student’s Name
  •  9-digit student ID number
  •  Date of the Exam
  • ·Name of Committee Chair/Committee Members and email addresses

An exam form will be sent to your committee withing 1-3 business days.

 To initiate the Prelim/Final exam scheduling process, students must have:

  • An approved committee in the MyPack Portal
  • A completed degree audit (all coursework is completed/in-progress/planned):
    • Preliminary oral exam: When you are getting ready to schedule your preliminary exam, it is likely that you will have red X’s on your degree audit and you will need to use your Planner to add future courses that will meet all of your degree requirements. Planned courses will then be displayed on your degree audit with a blue star symbol.
    • Final oral exam (“defense”): When scheduling your final exam, all coursework on your degree audit should be completed or in-progress. In other words, there should not be any blue stars or red X’s on your degree audit.

When the items above are completed, a “Schedule Exam” button will appear on your Committee page in MyPack as seen in the screenshot below. Once you have worked with your committee to determine the date and time of your oral exam, you must click that button to initiate the scheduling process.
