Once you and your major professor have determined that you have a review paper that is ready for approval and be sure that your committee has been notified of your plans. It is important to provide everyone on your committee a final draft of your document at least 3-4 weeks before the deadline to allow your committee time to review the document and to avoid any delays in your graduation.

If you are on federal financial aid, please check with the Office of Financial Aid to determine how many credits you'll need to register for to stay in deferment status.
