[La-cgs] Time Limit Extensions

[B. Ramu Ramachandran]

Nancy:

We approximately follow the early part of the process outlined by Eddie 
Lyons. The department head (or the coordinator of the graduate program) 
and associate dean for graduate studies of the student's college are 
asked to review and certify the courses. Their decision is conveyed to 
the Graduate School either in the form of a memo or an email. We also 
ask that a plan for completion of the remaining degree requirements and 
an anticipated exit date are both included in the communication to the 
Graduate School.

Memos received as hard copy (very rare these days) are scanned into 
PDFs, emails are saved as PDFs. In both cases, the records end up in the 
student's electronic folder shared between the Graduate School and the 
Registrar. Our Graduate Council is not involved in these decisions.

Best regards,
Ramu
