MA Thesis Defence Committee Submission Form

This form should be used by supervisors (or lead co-supervisors) to submit the thesis defence committee for their defending MA student to the department for approval. This form should be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to when the student needs to upload their thesis. Per the Thesis Examination Policy, MA students must upload their thesis at least 3 weeks ahead of their defence date.

MA defences are typically chaired by the Director of the School of Linguistics and Language Studies. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure that the Director is available at the time of the defence or to find a replacement chair. For assistance in finding a replacement chair, please contact the Graduate Administrator at SLALSGraduate@carleton.ca.

Please note: All required information must be filled in to be able to submit the form, including the date and time of the defence. If a date/time has yet to be finalized, please check “Temporary” next to the date/time field and follow up with the Graduate Administrator once it is finalized. Please note that the temporary date will be used in the Notice of Examination until a Revised Notice of Examination can be generated with the correct date. If you do not want this to occur, please email the Graduate Administrator.

This form is for defending MA candidates. For PhD candidates, use this form.
