What is a Completed Degree Program (CDP) worksheet and when is it due?
The CDP worksheet lists all courses the student has taken in the program and details the courses, papers, and other requirements completed to meet the student’s field requirements. The CDP must be signed by the student’s advisor and the field chair, as well as by the PhD Director and Department chair. The CDP ensures that students have fulfilled their field requirements before being admitted to candidacy and is used by the University to clear the student for their degree. After the completion of the core and field requirements and before nomination for admission to candidacy, each student must submit a Completed Degree Program for approval by the Department.
