The application to complete comprehensive exams must be received at least one month before the first written comprehensive examination takes place. Please note that any requests for written comprehensives to take place between June 15 to September 15 must be submitted before May 15. Comprehensives may be taken no more than one calendar month apart (e.g. Oct. 18 – Nov. 18), and oral comprehensives will not be held from June 15 to September 15. Comprehensives are generally booked from Mondays to Thursdays, starting no earlier than 10:00 am and ending no later than 3:00 pm. Although students are encouraged to request certain dates and times, the Registrar will make the final decision on when the comprehensives will take place, based on proctor and faculty availability.
