  Required when requesting a waiver of the UAA student employment guidelines in allowing a graduate student or assistant to work more than 20 hours per week. International students on F-1 or J-1 visas are not permitted to work more than 20 hours per week and therefore are not eligible for this waiver. Waiver form is not necessary during summer employment. This form does not cover outside employment for graduate assistants.

• Thesis/Dissertation Deadline Extension Request

  Thesis/Dissertation Deadline Extension Request

  The thesis advisor must request and extension to the thesis/dissertation submission deadline. Complete and forward to the Graduate School Dean through your program director/chair and college dean. STUDENTS DO NOT SUBMIT THIS FORM. The request must outline the circumstances that precipitated this unusual request. By approving the request for an extension of time to complete the thesis/dissertation, your department director and dean acknowledge the request and agree to review the thesis/dissertation in a timely manner to allow the extension deadline to be met. NO EXTENSIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE FALL SEMESTER. No extensions will be granted for any reason after April 15 for spring semester, and July 21 for summer semester. The Graduate School will also need adequate time to review the thesis and allow the student enough time to make any corrections. The deadline imposed by the Office of the Registrar for clearance to graduate is fixed and unable to be amended. Extensions are made on a first-come, first-serve basis. Not all extensions may be approved.
