B. Reminders
- Please read and comply with policies and procedures as indicated in the Thesis/Dissertation/Capstone Project Guidelines.
- Schedule of Oral Defense (page 17)
- The Final Oral Defense should fall within the official academic calendar of the School Year as released by the Office of the Registrar.
- If the student wishes to submit the final revised copy of the TDCP and other requirements within the submission deadline of a particular semester, the final oral defense should take place on or before the deadline set by the OADGP. This includes students with an approved extension in a particular semester/term.
- A student whose program does not require a final oral defense of the capstone project enrolls and submits or presents their papers within the deadline of the final oral defense set by the OADGP.
- Approval of final revised TDCP and other requirements (page 28)
- Students must consult with your Department/Program and Office of the Deans should they require an earlier deadline for submission and approval. The portal automatically restricts submission and approval after the scheduled deadline for each term/semester.
- Students must check their AISIS account and submission dashboard for updates of the approval process. The OADGP will not remind the approvers/students to check their emails and review the submitted documents.
- If the student is unable to secure the approval of all parties concerned on or before the scheduled deadline for the term/semester, the student is required to enroll again in the next semester/term, provided that the student is well within the maximum residency term limit.
- Students should adhere to the policies and procedures of the Loyola Schools. Students may send their questions/inquiries through email or google chat at adgp.ls@ateneo.edu.
