August 20 is the deadline for students hoping to meet the requirements for the Second Deadline to submit dissertation/thesis to Trace and to submit thesis/dissertation approval form and pass/fail form to the Graduate School. The Second Deadline is for students who cannot meet the regular summer deadline dates. Fulfilling these obligations will allow a student to graduate in fall 2019 without being required to register for thesis/dissertation credit in fall 2019.
