203.12 Oral Examination

    Every candidate in a thesis degree program must pass a final oral examination following submission of the thesis to the department. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure that proper arrangements are made for the candidate's examination, and that it is scheduled and held in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research regulations. It is also the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure that the candidate is not required to make these arrangements. In the absence of the supervisor, these responsibilities shall be borne by the departmental Graduate Coordinator or designate. The finished thesis must be submitted to the examining committee and a completed Notice and Approval of Oral Examination Committee form must be submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research at least three weeks before the oral examination.

    The language used to conduct the final oral examination shall be English. However, the supervisory committee may petition the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, and on receiving written approval may conduct the examination in a language other than English.

    Each department offering a doctoral degree is required to establish detailed examination procedures for the candidacy and final oral examination. These procedures should be made available to staff and students in the department and to the Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.
