Therefore, the COM/BSBS Progress Policy mandates that undergraduate students meet the requirements of the policy. Below are the specific requirements of the Progress Policy: <ul> <li>Students who earned 3 low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be placed on a probationary status. Students who earn 5 or more low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be excluded from all COM majors.</li> <li>Students with 2 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be placed on a probationary status.

The courses included in this GPA include all courses in the Common Program Prerequisites, Core requirements (Advanced level) and Restricted electives. Students who are unable to maintain such GPA need to meet with an academic success coach to discuss the option of moving to the Integrated Biomedical Science track. </li> <li>Students should consult with a BSBS academic advisor at least once a semester.</li> </ul> <p><br /><br /></p> <p>While many students discover that they have interests in varied disciplines at the University of Central Florida, they are not permitted to pursue two majors within the College of Medicine. College of Medicine students may declare a major and a minor within the college or pursue a second major or minor in another academic college at UCF. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss these opportunities.</p>",

For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies Funding website, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances. The Financial Information section of the Graduate Catalog is another key resource.</p><h2>Fellowship Information</h2><p>Fellowships are awarded based on academic merit to highly qualified students. They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see UCF Graduate Fellowships, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p><p>All students must identify an adviser and file an official degree program of study prior to the completion of 9 credit hours of study. The program of study must be approved by the department and therefore students should consult with the MAE Graduate Director for assistance in filling out their program of study.</p><strong>Equipment Fee</strong><p>Students in the Aerospace Engineering MSAE program pay a $90 equipment fee each semester that they are enrolled.</p><strong>Independent Learning</strong><p>The independent learning requirement is met by successful completion of a master's thesis for the thesis option. The nonthesis option independent learning experience is provided by the required course, EML 6085 - Research Methods in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (3 credit hours). Upon prior approval from the graduate program director, xxx 6918 (3 credit hours) may substitute EML 6085 as the student's independent learning experience. After the graduate program director approves the substitution, the faculty supervising the directed research will create a special registration of XXX 6918 for the student.</p>",

After being admitted to candidacy, minimum enrollment is 3 credit hours of dissertation each semester.</li></ul><h3>Examinations</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>Details</li></ul><h3>Qualifying Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The written qualifying examination should be completed within the first two years of the student's program. The exam seeks to cover areas of general knowledge and discipline-specific knowledge within the student's declared track. Questions can be related to the dissertation research proposal or designed to examine general knowledge and reasoning within the field.</li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>Each student will be required to generate and orally defend a written proposal outlining their dissertation research to their dissertation advisory committee no later than 12 months after passing the Qualifying Examination. The oral Candidacy Examination requires that the student demonstrate knowledge of the theory, literature, and research methodologies relevant to the proposed area of research as well as demonstrate an understanding of how their work relates to the field of biology as a whole. After passing the Candidacy Examination and meeting all coursework requirements the student will be deemed as having been admitted to candidacy and can register for dissertation hours. Once a student is admitted to candidacy, the focus will be on dissertation research. For most students, the research and writing of the dissertation will take two to three years after advancing to candidacy. During this time, students should remain in close contact with the dissertation advisor and advisory committee and annual progress reports must be filed with the Graduate Program Director. </li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination - Written Proposal</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>A written dissertation proposal, already approved by the advisor, must be submitted to each committee member no later than two weeks prior to the Candidacy Examination. Typically, the proposal will be in the format described below. However, in cases where this format is not appropriate, an alternative format may be used with the approval of the dissertation advisor. The proposal should be approximately 10 to 15 pages in length not including references, single-spaced and typed in 12-point font with one-inch margins on all sides. The use of figures and tables is encouraged. With rare exceptions it is expected that dissertation research will be hypothesis-driven. Specific Aims: Describe concisely the problem(s) to be addressed and the specific goals of the dissertation research as they relate to the problem(s), including clear statements of hypotheses to be tested. Background and Significance: Review background literature relevant to the dissertation topic, indicating clearly where gaps in knowledge exist. Justify the need for the research by explaining its anticipated significance. Conclude by linking gaps in current knowledge to the proposed specific aims. Methodology: Outline carefully the study design (observations, experiments, models, statistical analysis, etc.) related to, and the methodology to be used for, each specific aim. Methodologies should be explained in sufficient detail to allow committee members to assess the validity of its use in the study. Potential outcomes and alternative approaches should be discussed. Literature Cited: References should be indicated in the main body of the proposal wherever appropriate and should follow the format of a peer-reviewed journal in a field of study appropriate to the research. This section can be as long as necessary. </li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination – Oral Component</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>At least two weeks prior to the examination, an abstract describing the proposed research will be posted in the Biological Sciences Building and circulated by e-mail among faculty and graduate students. The candidate will present the research proposal in a forum open to all faculty, students, and visitors. The oral presentation should be approximately 30-45 minutes in length to be followed by a public question-and-answer period. Presentation of preliminary data is neither required nor expected, but should be provided if available and relevant. With the exception of the advisory committee and candidate, all faculty, students and visitors will leave at the conclusion of the public question-and-answer period. The committee will continue the exam in closed session with further questioning. Questions can be directed to any matter relevant to the research proposal and areas of weakness previously identified in the written (qualifying) exam. A majority vote is required to pass the examination; however, no more than one negative vote is permitted. The majority must include the dissertation advisor. Any student failing the examination must repeat the examination within six calendar months of the date of the first examination. A second failed attempt will result in dismissal from the program. </li></ul><h3>Admission to Candidacy</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The following are required to be admitted to candidacy and enroll in dissertation hours: Dissertation Committee formed (without external member). Successful completion of qualifying exam. Completion of all coursework (except for dissertation hours). External member added to Dissertation Committee. Successful completion of candidacy exam. </li></ul><h3>Dissertation Defense</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The dissertation is expected to represent an original and significant contribution to the discipline. Upon completion and approval of the doctoral dissertation by all appropriate faculty and university offices, the student will make a formal presentation of the research findings in seminar format to the dissertation committee and other university faculty and students who may wish to attend. The dissertation should be in a format appropriate for publication and the use of appendixes for nonessential information is encouraged. The major role of the student's advisory committee is to offer guidance on study design and interpretation of results. A polished draft must be delivered to the advisory committee for review after the student and dissertation advisor have agreed upon editorial changes; this should occur well before the anticipated date of the final defense. Committee members have the right to reject documents that fail to meet these guidelines. Committee members should be given at least two weeks to review the draft before the student attempts to schedule the final defense. The final defense is to be scheduled only after the advisory committee agrees that the dissertation is ready for defense. Committee members should return the corrected dissertation to the student two weeks after receipt and the candidate should check with committee members to ensure they have the time to review the document. For example, if the student delivers the final draft to the committee one month prior to the proposed defense date, that would allow two weeks before the scheduled defense date for the student to make recommended changes. At least two weeks prior to the defense, an abstract describing the research conducted and conclusions reached will be posted in the Biological Sciences Building, circulated by e-mail among faculty and graduate students, and posted on the College of Graduate Studies Events Calendar. The candidate will present the research in a forum open to all faculty, students, and visitors. The oral presentation should be approximately 45-50 minutes in length to be followed by a question-and-answer period. In the presentation the candidate should focus on background information, describe the research performed, and draw attention to the significance of the conclusions reached. With the exception of the committee and candidate, all faculty, students, and visitors will leave at the conclusion of the question-and-answer period. The committee will continue the defense and the candidate will answer questions about the subject matter presented and defend the conclusions drawn. The committee will ask questions of the process used and assess the candidate's level of competency with the research topic. A majority vote is required to pass the examination; however, no more than one negative vote is permitted. The majority must include the dissertation advisor. </li></ul><h3>Student Orientation</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>An orientation for all incoming students will be scheduled one week prior to each fall semester. The orientation will include tours of the program facilities, a session on registration, university policies and procedures, and expectations of doctoral study. Further, Environmental Health and Safety will present a program on topics such as laboratory safety, chemical and fire safety, biohazard training, and radioisotope handling. Expectations for Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA) and Graduate Research Assistants (GRA) will be fully covered. In addition, students will be required to participate in the program for GTAs offered by the UCF Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning and the College of Sciences. Students are strongly encouraged to attend the university orientation as well, held approximately one week prior to each fall semester. </li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The dissertation satisfies the independent learning experience. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>72</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

After passing the Candidacy Examination and meeting all coursework requirements the student will be deemed as having been admitted to candidacy and can register for dissertation hours. Once a student is admitted to candidacy, the focus will be on dissertation research. For most students, the research and writing of the dissertation will take two to three years after advancing to candidacy.

The proposal should be approximately 10 to 15 pages in length not including references, single-spaced and typed in 12-point font with one-inch margins on all sides. The use of figures and tables is encouraged. With rare exceptions it is expected that dissertation research will be hypothesis-driven.\n\nSpecific Aims: Describe concisely the problem(s) to be addressed and the specific goals of the dissertation research as they relate to the problem(s), including clear statements of hypotheses to be tested.\nBackground and Significance: Review background literature relevant to the dissertation topic, indicating clearly where gaps in knowledge exist. Justify the need for the research by explaining its anticipated significance. Conclude by linking gaps in current knowledge to the proposed specific aims.\nMethodology: Outline carefully the study design (observations, experiments, models, statistical analysis, etc.) related to, and the methodology to be used for, each specific aim. Methodologies should be explained in sufficient detail to allow committee members to assess the validity of its use in the study. Potential outcomes and alternative approaches should be discussed.\nLiterature Cited: References should be indicated in the main body of the proposal wherever appropriate and should follow the format of a peer-reviewed journal in a field of study appropriate to the research.

Upon completion and approval of the doctoral dissertation by all appropriate faculty and university offices, the student will make a formal presentation of the research findings in seminar format to the dissertation committee and other university faculty and students who may wish to attend.\n\nThe dissertation should be in a format appropriate for publication and the use of appendixes for nonessential information is encouraged. The major role of the student's advisory committee is to offer guidance on study design and interpretation of results. A polished draft must be delivered to the advisory committee for review after the student and dissertation advisor have agreed upon editorial changes; this should occur well before the anticipated date of the final defense. Committee members have the right to reject documents that fail to meet these guidelines. Committee members should be given at least two weeks to review the draft before the student attempts to schedule the final defense. The final defense is to be scheduled only after the advisory committee agrees that the dissertation is ready for defense. Committee members should return the corrected dissertation to the student two weeks after receipt and the candidate should check with committee members to ensure they have the time to review the document. For example, if the student delivers the final draft to the committee one month prior to the proposed defense date, that would allow two weeks before the scheduled defense date for the student to make recommended changes.\n\nAt least two weeks prior to the defense, an abstract describing the research conducted and conclusions reached will be posted in the Biological Sciences Building, circulated by e-mail among faculty and graduate students, and posted on the College of Graduate Studies Events Calendar. The candidate will present the research in a forum open to all faculty, students, and visitors. The oral presentation should be approximately 45-50 minutes in length to be followed by a question-and-answer period. In the presentation the candidate should focus on background information, describe the research performed, and draw attention to the significance of the conclusions reached. With the exception of the committee and candidate, all faculty, students, and visitors will leave at the conclusion of the question-and-answer period. The committee will continue the defense and the candidate will answer questions about the subject matter presented and defend the conclusions drawn. The committee will ask questions of the process used and assess the candidate's level of competency with the research topic.

At least one member will be from a department other than Biology or from outside the university. The chair, or co-chair, must be a member of the program graduate faculty. </li></ul></li></ul><h3>Enrollment Requirements</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students are required to register for 9 credit hours in fall and spring before their candidacy exam, and 6 credit hours in summer if enrolled. After being admitted to candidacy, minimum enrollment is 3 credit hours of dissertation research each semester. </li></ul><h3>Additional Electives</h3> 30 Total Credits <ul><li>Earn at least 30 credits from the following types of courses: In addition to the above required, elective, and dissertation credits, the student must enroll in an additional 30 credit hours of electives. These electives may include additional formal coursework, additional dissertation research hours (PCB 7980), and a maximum of 12 credit hours combined of independent study (PCB 6908) and directed research (PCB 6918, PCB 7919, and PCB 5917). Professional internship hours can be substituted for directed research. </li></ul><h3>Examinations</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>Details</li></ul><h3>Qualifying Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> The written qualifying examination should be completed within the first two years of the student's program. The exam seeks to cover areas of general knowledge and discipline-specific knowledge within the student's declared track. These questions could be related to the dissertation research proposal or designed to examine general knowledge and reasoning within the field. The candidate will meet with their advisory committee at least two months prior to the examination to discuss expectations. Committee members must clearly articulate in writing the general areas that may be examined. Any student failing the examination must repeat the examination within six calendar months of the date of the first examination and requires a majority vote by committee members to pass the exam. A second failed attempt will result in dismissal from the program. </li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Each student will be required to generate and orally defend a written proposal outlining their dissertation research to their dissertation advisory committee no later than 12 months after passing the Qualifying Examination. The oral Candidacy Examination will cover all areas within the scope of the student's doctoral program and requires that the student demonstrate knowledge of the theory, literature and research methodologies relevant to the proposed area of research as well as demonstrate an understanding of how their work relates to the field of biology as a whole. After passing the Candidacy Examination and meeting other requirements, the student will be deemed as having been admitted to candidacy and can register for dissertation hours. Once a student is admitted to candidacy, the focus will be on dissertation research. For most students, the research and writing of the dissertation will take two to three years after advancing to candidacy. During this time, students should remain in close contact with the dissertation advisor and advisory committee, and annual progress reports must be filed with the Graduate Program Director. </li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination - Written Proposal</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> A written dissertation proposal, already approved by the advisor, must be submitted to each committee member no later than two weeks prior to the Candidacy Examination. Typically, the proposal will be in the format described below. However, in cases where this format is not appropriate, an alternative format may be used with the approval of the dissertation advisor. The proposal should be approximately 10 to 15 pages in length not including references, single-spaced and typed in 12-point font with one-inch margins on all sides. The use of figures and tables is encouraged. With rare exceptions it is expected that dissertation research will be hypothesis-driven. Specific Aims: Describe concisely the problem(s) to be addressed and the specific goals of the dissertation research as they relate to the problem(s), including clear statements of hypotheses to be tested. Background and Significance: Review background literature relevant to the dissertation topic, indicating clearly where gaps in knowledge exist. Justify the need for the research by explaining its anticipated significance. Conclude by linking gaps in current knowledge to the proposed specific aims. Methodology: Outline carefully the study design (observations, experiments, models, statistical analysis, etc.) related to, and the methodology to be used for, each specific aim. Methodologies should be explained in sufficient detail to allow committee members to assess the validity of its use in the study. Potential outcomes and alternative approaches should be discussed. Literature Cited: References should be indicated in the main body of the proposal wherever appropriate and should follow the format of a peer-reviewed journal in a field of study appropriate to the research. This section can be as long as necessary. </li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination - Oral Component</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> At least two weeks prior to the examination, an abstract describing the proposed research will be posted in the Biological Sciences Building and circulated by e-mail among faculty and graduate students. The candidate will present the research proposal in a forum open to all faculty, students and visitors. The oral presentation should be approximately 30-45 minutes in length to be followed by a public question-and-answer period. Presentation of preliminary data is neither required nor expected, but should be provided if available and relevant. With the exception of the advisory committee and candidate, all faculty, students and visitors will leave at the conclusion of the public question-and-answer period. The committee will continue the exam in closed session with further questioning. Questions can be directed to any matter relevant to the research proposal and areas of weakness previously identified in the written (qualifying) exam. A majority vote is required to pass the examination; however, no more than one negative vote is permitted. The majority must include the dissertation advisor. Any student failing the examination must repeat the examination within six calendar months of the date of the first examination. A second failed attempt will result in dismissal from the program. </li></ul><h3>Admission to Candidacy</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> The following are required to be admitted to candidacy and enroll in dissertation hours: Program of study submitted and approved. Dissertation Committee formed (without external member) Successful completion of the qualifying exam. Completion of all coursework (except for dissertation hours) External member added to Dissertation Committee. Successful completion of candidacy exam. </li></ul><h3>Dissertation Defense</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> The dissertation is expected to represent an original and significant contribution to the discipline. Upon completion and approval of the doctoral dissertation by all appropriate faculty and university offices, the student will make a formal presentation of the research findings in seminar format to the dissertation committee and other university faculty and students who may wish to attend. The dissertation should be in a format appropriate for publication and should be \"tightened\" to a readiness for submittal by use of appendixes for nonessential information. The major role of the student's advisory committee is to offer guidance on study design and interpretation of results. A polished draft must be delivered to the advisory committee for review after the student and dissertation advisor have agreed upon editorial changes; this should occur well before the anticipated date of the final defense. Committee members have the right to reject documents that fail to meet these guidelines. Committee members should be given at least two weeks to review the draft before the student attempts to schedule the final defense. The final defense is to be scheduled only after the advisory committee agrees that the dissertation is ready for defense. Committee members should return the corrected dissertation to the student two weeks after receipt and the candidate should check with committee members to ensure they have the time to review the document. For example, if the student delivers the final draft to the committee one month prior to the proposed defense date, that would allow two weeks before the scheduled defense date for the student to make recommended changes. At least two weeks prior to the defense, an abstract describing the research conducted and conclusions reached will be posted in the Biological Sciences Building, circulated by e-mail among faculty and graduate students, and posted at the College of Graduate Studies Events Calendar. The candidate will present the research in a forum open to all faculty, students, and visitors. The oral presentation should be approximately 45-50 minutes in length to be followed by a question-and-answer period. In the presentation the candidate should focus on background information, describe the research performed, and draw attention to the significance of the conclusions reached. With the exception of the committee and candidate, all faculty, students, and visitors will leave at the conclusion of the question-and-answer period. The committee will continue the defense and the candidate will answer questions about the subject matter presented and defend the conclusions drawn. The committee will ask questions of the process used and assess the candidate's level of competency with the research topic. A majority vote is required to pass the examination; however, no more than one negative vote is permitted. The majority must include the dissertation advisor. </li></ul><h3>Student Orientation</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> An orientation for all incoming students will be scheduled one week prior to each fall semester. The orientation will include tours of the program facilities, a session on registration, university policies and procedures, and expectations of doctoral study. Further, Environmental Health and Safety will present a program on topics such as laboratory safety, chemical and fire safety, biohazard training, and radioisotope handling. Expectations for Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA) and Graduate Research Assistants (GRA) will be fully covered. In addition, students will be required to participate in the program for GTAs offered by the UCF Faculty Teaching and Learning Center and the College of Sciences. Students are strongly encouraged to attend the university's orientation also, held approximately one week before classes begin in the Fall semester. </li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> The dissertation satisfies the independent learning experience. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>72</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans. For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies Funding website, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances. The Financial Information section of the Graduate Catalog is another key resource.</p><h2>Fellowship Information</h2><p>Fellowships are awarded based on academic merit to highly qualified students. They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see UCF Graduate Fellowships, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p><p>A student is required to establish a program of study before the completion of nine credit hours of coursework, in conjunction with their dissertation advisor and advisory committee. A student's advisory committee may require the candidate to take any graduate course taught at UCF if deemed appropriate for the student's area of emphasis. Students entering with a master's degree may request up to 30 semester credit hours of previous work be waived toward the requirements for this degree with approval from the advisory committee. Students who transfer 30 credit hours must still take 2 credit hours of Biology Seminar (BSC 6935) and Professional Development I (PCB 6095) and II (PCB 6096). Students may register for dissertation research only after passing the candidacy exam.</p>",

After passing the Candidacy Examination and meeting other requirements, the student will be deemed as having been admitted to candidacy and can register for dissertation hours. Once a student is admitted to candidacy, the focus will be on dissertation research. For most students, the research and writing of the dissertation will take two to three years after advancing to candidacy. During this time, students should remain in close contact with the dissertation advisor and advisory committee and annual progress reports must be filed with the Graduate Program Director.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></div></section><section><div><header><div><h2>Candidacy Examination - Written Proposal</h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>\nA written dissertation proposal, already approved by the advisor, must be submitted to each committee member no later than two weeks prior to the Candidacy Examination. Typically, the proposal will be in the format described below. However, in cases where this format is not appropriate, an alternative format may be used with the approval of the dissertation advisor. The proposal should be approximately 10 to 15 pages in length not including references, single-spaced and typed in 12-point font with one-inch margins on all sides. The use of figures and tables is encouraged. With rare exceptions it is expected that dissertation research will be hypothesis-driven.\n\nSpecific Aims: Describe concisely the problem(s) to be addressed and the specific goals of the dissertation research as they relate to the problem(s), including clear statements of hypotheses to be tested.\nBackground and Significance: Review background literature relevant to the dissertation topic, indicating clearly where gaps in knowledge exist. Justify the need for the research by explaining its anticipated significance. Conclude by linking gaps in current knowledge to the proposed specific aims.\nMethodology: Outline carefully the study design (observations, experiments, models, statistical analysis, etc.) related to, and the methodology to be used for, each specific aim. Methodologies should be explained in sufficient detail to allow committee members to assess the validity of its use in the study. Potential outcomes and alternative approaches should be discussed.\nLiterature Cited: References should be indicated in the main body of the proposal wherever appropriate and should follow the format of a peer-reviewed journal in a field of study appropriate to the research.

The candidate will present the research proposal in a forum open to all faculty, students, and visitors. The oral presentation should be approximately 30-45 minutes in length to be followed by a public question-and-answer period. Presentation of preliminary data is neither required nor expected, but should be provided if available and relevant.

Upon completion and approval of the doctoral dissertation by all appropriate faculty and university offices, the student will make a formal presentation of the research findings in seminar format to the dissertation committee and other university faculty and students who may wish to attend.\n\nThe dissertation should be in a format appropriate for publication and should be "tightened" to a readiness for submittal by use of appendixes for nonessential information. The major role of the student's advisory committee is to offer guidance on study design and interpretation of results. A polished draft must be delivered to the advisory committee for review after the student and dissertation advisor have agreed upon editorial changes; this should occur well before the anticipated date of the final defense. Committee members have the right to reject documents that fail to meet these guidelines. Committee members should be given at least two weeks to review the draft before the student attempts to schedule the final defense. The final defense is to be scheduled only after the advisory committee agrees that the dissertation is ready for defense. Committee members should return the corrected dissertation to the student two weeks after receipt and the candidate should check with committee members to ensure they have the time to review the document. For example, if the student delivers the final draft to the committee one month prior to the proposed defense date, that would allow two weeks before the scheduled defense date for the student to make recommended changes.\n\nAt least two weeks prior to the defense, an abstract describing the research conducted and conclusions reached will be posted in the Biological Sciences Building, circulated by e-mail among faculty and graduate students, and posted on the College of Graduate Studies Events Calendar. The candidate will present the research in a forum open to all faculty, students, and visitors. The oral presentation should be approximately 45-50 minutes in length to be followed by a question-and-answer period. In the presentation the candidate should focus on background information, describe the research performed, and draw attention to the significance of the conclusions reached. With the exception of the committee and candidate, all faculty, students, and visitors will leave at the conclusion of the question-and-answer period. The committee will continue the defense and the candidate will answer questions about the subject matter presented and defend the conclusions drawn. The committee will ask questions of the process used and assess the candidate's level of competency with the research topic. A majority vote is required to pass the examination; however, no more than one negative vote is permitted. The majority must include the dissertation advisor.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><section><header data-test=\"grouping-8-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Student Orientation</span></h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>\nAn orientation for all incoming students will be scheduled one week prior to each fall semester.
