Final Examination
After submitting the dissertation and completing all other work prescribed for the

supervisory committee, on campus. The candidate and the chair or cochair must be
present at the defense, while all other committee members may elect to attend the
defense remotely via modern technological advances. The defense should be no more
than 6 months before degree award. All forms should be signed at the defense: the
candidate and the supervisory committee chair sign the UF Publishing Agreement
Form, while the entire supervisory committee signs the ETD Signature Page and the
Final Examination Report. If dissertation changes are requested, the supervisory
committee chair or his or her designee may hold the ETD Signature Page until all are
satisfied with the dissertation. However, this form must be submitted electronically,
via GIMS, by the Final Clearance Deadline for the Graduate School Editorial Office,
during the term of intended degree award.
Satisfactory performance on this examination and adherence to all Graduate School
regulations outlined above complete the requirements for the degree.
