I need information on comprehensive exams.

See the Rules and Requirements section of the website.

I previously submitted information about my second year faculty advisor, but need to change it. What should I do?

I don't know if I can complete all of the 18 course requirements by the end of my second year. Can I still take the comp exams?

You may not take the comprehensive exams if you have not met the 18-course requirements unless you have explicit approval from the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS).  If you think you will have trouble completing the 18-course requirements by the end of your 2nd year, please email the Graduate Advisor and DGS no later than the end of Fall quarter.
