Deadlines & Dates to Remember
Policy Updates
- Graduate Co-op Policy Update
Starting this summer, graduate co-op opportunities will not require enrollment in a 1-credit co-op course. The revisions to co-op policy will allow students to enroll in a zero-credit co-op course (incurring no tuition charges) and engage in short-term or part-time co-op opportunities as well, in addition to the full-time semester or summer-long engagements. We are in the process of updating related policies and procedures, but you will see the changes before the end of the semester. If you have already assisted students with adding a one-credit co-op course to their plan of study for this summer, you do not need to redo this work; these will be administratively corrected to zero credit in the Graduate School upon receipt.
Administrative Announcements
- Nominations invited for the 2023 CGS/ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Awards
The Graduate School invites nominations for the CGS/ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Awards in the fields of (1) biological sciences/life sciences and (2) humanities and fine arts. Details are available at https://cgsnet.org/about/awards-2/cgs-proquest-distinguished-dissertation/. If you are interested in nominating a dissertation, please contact Monika Gibson at gibsonm@vt.edu. Because Virginia Tech is limited to one nomination per category, the Graduate School will select finalists and assist with compiling the nominations.
