Extended Spring Break

Emory University will extend spring break for students until Sunday, March 22, 2020. During this time, no in-person or remote classes should take place. The University will transition to remote learning beginning Monday, March 23.

 

Qualifying Exams/Thesis and Dissertation Defenses

Qualifying examinations and thesis and dissertation defenses may take place on campus as scheduled. However, meetings should limit in-person participation to committee members only. Options for remote participation must be offered. If desired, public participation may be arranged via remote connection. 

 

We strongly advise meeting participants who are considered at higher risk to participate remotely.

 

Please consider social distancing and respiratory hygiene best practices for all meetings. 

 

Approval forms should be submitted electronically and may use scanned signatures of committee members.  

 

Emory Zoom is recommended and useful for the practices above. Emory’s Teaching and Learning Technologies provides workshops, practice sessions, and instruction videos.

 

Please submit any questions about defenses and exams to Ulf Nilsson at unilsso@emory.edu.
