Program Completion
Program completion for immigration purposes is deemed to be the final day of the semester for 成人影片 enrolled in a semester-long course which meets on regularly scheduled, specified days and times for the duration of the semester. Students enrolled in condensed courses are deemed to have completed their programs on the last day of required attendance during their final semester.
Graduate Students with Thesis/Project Requirements
For those 成人影片 who are enrolled only in graduate thesis or research credits and
who have met all other course requirements in a previous semester, program completion
is calculated from the date of thesis or project defense, not the last day of the
semester. The official program completion date for these 成人影片 is the earlier of
(1) two months from the defense date OR
(2) Thesis Requirement: the date the academic department chair signs the thesis approval form or
Project Requirement: the date the project approval form is signed by the academic department chair.
CLARIFYING NOTE: Once the thesis is forwarded to the academic dean for review, whether or not the thesis approval form has been signed by the academic department chair and/or committee members, the completion date is the date of forwarding or two-months from defense, whichever is earlier. There is no "early review" provision for the academic deans. It is presumed that once the dean has received the thesis, there will be no further corrections/revisions from the department chair or committee.

Subsequent enrollment requirements for Graduate Students: Graduate 成人影片 not meeting Graduate School deadlines for final submission of thesis or project reports are required to register for one credit the following semester (the semester of formal UAF graduation). This is a university policy and is considered enrollment for administrative purposes only. It has no impact on immigration status.
