Grad School Finish

[peace2014]

For U of T med school, it says the program requirements have to be met by June 30th, but what if I have met all my requirements including submitting the thesis, but I would not be able to get the actual degree ("graduate") by October? Is that going to be a problem?  Thanks

I don't think this is a problem. Convocation isn't a big deal, as long as all the requirements for graduation have been met you should be okay.

Yes that's right. You don't need to have the degree (I.e. "convocation") until the end of November of your first year. But just to clarify what they mean by "meeting degree requirements" if you're doing a thesis-based grad program: they want you to have your thesis accepted and revisions submitted and accepted before June 30th. Like final thesis uploaded into your school's thesis database and title of your thesis appearing on your transcript before June 30th. I didn't understand that last year and it caused quite a bit of anxiety for me. All the best!

What about for undergrads who will technically be eligible for a 3-year degree by May but want to take courses during the summer to meet the requirements for an Honours (4-year degree)?
