Thesis receipt: G+PS will acknowledge the acceptance of your thesis via the student system with a thesis receipt with the subject line “Thesis Approved: <your name and student number>”. This email is cc’d to the administrator of your graduate program office for their reference.
Program closure: The thesis receipt initiates review of your program accomplishments for closure and graduation approval (if you have applied for graduation). Other than at particularly busy times such as Term end and graduation deadlines you can expect to see that your program has been closed within 5 - 7 business days from the date you received the thesis receipt. The effective date of closure is the date in bold in the receipt, example: “This email is your official thesis receipt. Your program will receive a copy, and provided you have met all other requirements, your program will be closed as of <month and day>, 2024. Please allow 5-7 business days for this to show up on your record. ”
Program Completion Letter: This letter will populate the student system at the moment your program is closed.
Applying for Graduation: If you have not applied to graduate, you should do so as soon as possible.
