A Guide to Completing a CS Graduate Degree in a Timely Manner
by Cliff Shaffer 11 Sep '21

11 Sep '21

I have collected various bits of advice given at the grad website and elsewhere, and fleshed it out to provide a more comprehensive document about staying on track towards graduation timelines. It has sections for each of the various degrees that we give (including information for accelerated undergrad/grad students). I hope that this proves useful to some!
