During each semester, the Coordinator will share an online form through the program Listserv that will allow students to reserve a time slot for their final defense.

Students who plan to hold their final defense virtually (preferred) must schedule the session via Zoom. This must be done through Mason's Zoom network (https://gmu.zoom.us/signin) using the student's Mason credentials. The Dissertation Director may also schedule the session using their Mason credentials. Students in need of technical support may contact Information Technology Services.

If you wish to reserve one of the stacked conference rooms (ENGR 1602, 2901, 3507, & 4801) in the Nguyen Engineering Building for your final defense, please send a message from your Mason email account to vsevents@gmu.edu.
