The Final Examination is the declaration of, or the defense of, the Capstone Project. As stated in Graduate School Memorandum #13, General and Final Examinations must have four committee members present, including:

Two copies of your abstract - one in hard copy and one electronically the Chair GSR two members

If a member (s) needs to participate at an exam but cannot be physically present, UW Graduate School Instructions for Audio/Video Conferencing in Doctoral Examinations must be followed.

Before requesting a Final Examination with the UW Graduate School, check with Academic Services in the School of Nursing to assure that your current working supervisory committee members are consistent with the names officially listed with the UW Graduate School. After the Final Examination, all attending members of the supervisory committee sign the warrant. Again, as with the General Examination, the GSR must fill out a report for the Graduate School assuring that candidate was treated fairly and rigorously. The Graduate School solicits the report from the GSR.

Candidates must be registered for at least 2 credits in the quarter in which the degree is conferred. A checklist of requirements for the student's final quarter available in Academic Services. Candidates should be reviewed at least one quarter before.
