Check term end dates before confirming
Defence dates must be at least 2 weeks before the end of the semester in which the defence takes place, to allow time for revisions before the library submission deadline. Please check the SFU Dates & Deadlines page to confirm your proposed date falls within the required window, then verify with the SIAT Graduate Program Assistant before booking.
