All graduate students are required to give an oral presentation as part of their Master's degree
requirements. Students pursuing the thesis option (Plan I) will use their thesis defense as their
presentation. Students pursuing the non-thesis option (Plan II) will give a presentation on their
project. The scheduling of the presentation is the responsibility of the Graduate Coordinator.

Deadlines for defending the thesis and for submitting the thesis are announced by the Graduate College each semester.
Here are specific requirements:
- To request scheduling of the presentation, the student must provide the following to the Graduate
Coordinator in email or Microsoft Word format: a) title of presentation; b) abstract of presentation;
c) preferred days and times (at least three). Those presenting a thesis or a project must get the
approval of the thesis or project advisor before giving this information to the Graduate
Coordinator. Please submit this information by the middle of the semester in which the presentation
is to be given.
- All presentations must be given before the last week of class. No presentations are scheduled during the last week of class, during Final Exam week, during break periods
within a semester, or between semesters.
- No more than two oral presentations will be scheduled for any day.
- The Graduate Coordinator will try to schedule presentations on no more than two days in a week. In
no case will presentations be scheduled on more than three days in one week.
- A 50-minute period will be scheduled for presentations by Plan I (thesis) students. A 20-25 minute
period will be scheduled for all other students.
- For Plan II students, it is NOT necessary that the project be complete before the oral presentation
is given, but the project should be far enough along so that some preliminary results can be
presented.
- The date and time of the presentation must be approved by the Graduate Coordinator at least three
days before the presentation is to be given. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
- The Graduate Coordinator is responsible for announcing the presentation to the department's
faculty, staff, and graduate students.
You can check the CS Calendar to see which
dates remain available for your presentation.
