Meeting Deadlines to Graduate
From the time of admission, students must meet several deadlines in order to graduate from their degree program. IU Indianapolis controls deadlines for registration and adding and dropping courses after enrollment, but Purdue sets the deadlines for progression or working towards graduation. These deadlines include:
- applying for graduation with your school
- submitting forms - plan of study, exam forms, and thesis forms
- passing exams
- depositing a thesis or dissertation
Your school may set earlier deadlines than the official Purdue deadlines in order to allow time for committee approval of forms and other administrative tasks.
