Registration for Thesis Credits
The thesis will count for 4 credits toward the minimum number of credits required for graduation. These credits are considered as part of a student’s elective credits. The student will enroll in CD-895 (Research Proposal in CSD) for one credit, in the Summer of Year 1 or Fall of Year 2; CD-896 (Thesis Research I) for one credit, in the Fall or Spring term of Year 2, following enrollment in CD-895; and CD-897 (Thesis Research II) for two credits, in the Spring or Summer term of Year 2. Most students register for CD-897 in the summer semester. Registration for CD-897 must align with the semester during which the final thesis defense will be scheduled.
