Registration Deadlines
With the Advanced Billing System now used by LSU, meeting
registration deadlines is absolutely mandatory to avoid paying the $75 late fee
and having your class schedule canceled. The deadline for registering for
classes is the day before fee bills are printed. Registering after this date
will result in a $75 late fee. You must return your payment and the fee bill
stub by the payment deadline, even if you owe nothing. If you do not meet this
deadline, your class schedule will be canceled. When you re-register for your
classes after this deadline, you will be required to pay the $75 late fee. New
students are not subject to these deadlines for the first semester they are
enrolled. The Office of Records and Registration will accept no excuses!
Semester Deadlines for Graduation
Deadlines for graduation are posted in the building and are included in the University General Catalog
(http://www.lsu.edu/catalogs/2008/074ureg.shtml) and the Schedule of Classes(http://appl003.lsu.edu/slas/registrar.nsf/$Content/Schedule+Booklet?OpenDocument). These deadlines are absolute. All student forms are available from the RNR
Office of Student Services (Room 223) or can be completed online and printed
from:
http://appl003.lsu.edu/grad/gradschool .nsf/$Content/Forms?OpenDocument.
The following paragraphs are brief descriptions of important deadlines:
Final Date for Registering for
"Degree Only"
Degree only is for students who have completed all their degree requirements
during the previous semester but missed a deadline. You are eligible to register
for degree only even if you did not submit an "Application for Degree" the
previous semester.
Final Date for Submitting or
Updating "Application for Degree"
The Application for Degree informs the Graduate School that you are planning
to graduate this semester and is available through Student Services, Room 223, RNR Building, or the Graduate School.
"Request for General/Final Exam"
In all cases, the
Request for General/Final Exam must be submitted at least three weeks prior to
the exam date. If the exam is requested during the semester you are planning to
graduate, the form must be submitted no later than the Graduate School's
deadline for exam requests. This form is available through Student Services,
Room 223, RNR Building, and is used for thesis and dissertation defenses and the
Ph.D. general exam.
Final Date for Submitting "General
Examination Reports"
The general examination is a degree requirement for
Ph.D. students. General Examination Reports are mailed to your major professor
from the Graduate School in response to the Request for General/Final Exam.
Final date for submitting "Program of
Study"
This deadline is for Ph.D. students who want the current semester to apply
toward the doctoral residence requirement.
Final date for submitting
"Committee Examination Reports" and approved theses and dissertations.
If the Request for Final Exam was for the thesis or dissertation defense, the
Graduate School will have mailed the Committee Examination Reports and three
"Thesis or Dissertation Approval Sheets" to your major professor. This deadline
is usually one month before the final exam.
