handbook here.
Sections that are particularly relevant for graduate students
and faculty in Linguistics are II.2, II.6, and III.
- II.2. Registration and Scheduling --
This section specifies the minimum course load, procedures
for registering for and withdrawing from courses, and so on.
The office of the Registrar posts quarter-by-quarter calendars of
important
dates such as deadlines for registering without paying a late fee and for
withdrawing from a course without petitioning.
Also see the
University Registrar's Academic Calendar.
Note that the minimum course loads for a student with an
appointment as a Graduate Associate are different
before and after passing the Candidacy Exam. Also,
the minimum course load for Summer Quarter applies even
when a student accepts a fourth-quarter fee waiver and
does not receive a stipend.
- II.6. Doctoral Degree Programs --
This section specifies Graduate School wide requirements
for the Ph.D., including residency requirements, the
Candidacy Exam, and the dissertation.
The Graduation Services office in the Graduate School maintains
an online
calendar
of deadlines such as the last date
for filing the "Dissertation Draft Approval"
form that also schedules the dissertation defense.
This form (and the form for scheduling the Candidacy Exam)
can be obtained in the Graduate School or
from the Graduate Studies Coordinator (currently Jane Harper).
- III. Guidelines for Preparing Theses, Dissertations, and D.M.A. Documents.
One section of the Graduate School Handbook describes formatting
requirements.
There are also links to documents about policies and procedures
for electronic submission of the finished document
(and for delaying dissemination of it)
on the "Policies and Procedures" page of the
Graduate School URL.
Note that beginning in Autumn 2002, all doctoral dissertations
the Ohio State University must be filed electronically.
