 - Schedule your final exam with your committee well in advance. And reserve a room for your final exam presentation (see notes below on reserving rooms).

+- Usually, you must be registered for 10 credits to maintain full-time status, this does not apply for your last quarter or for other circumstances (health issues, primary caregiver, DRS accommodation, financial hardship, or part-time program).

 - At the beginning of the quarter in which you are having your exam (or no later than three weeks prior to your exam date), submit the [Final Exam Request](https://grad.uw.edu/for-students-and-post-docs/mygrad-program/) online.
   - Do a "Degree Audit Report" through [MyPlan](https://myplan.uw.edu/audit/#/degree) before you submit the Final Exam Request. Make sure all your requirements have been satisfied (except for current credits you're taking, such as all the Dissertation CEE 800 credits, they'll be listed as in progress). If there's something incorrect in the report, contact the CEE grad advisors to get it resolved ASAP.
   - Make sure that your "Advisors & Committees" section in MyGrad correctly lists your committee members and their roles (including the Graduate School Representative, GSR).
