External Examiners
An External Examiner provides an independent, expert assessment of a student's thesis or dissertation as part of the Thesis Examination Committee process. Depending on the graduate program and degree requirements, the inclusion of an external examiner may be required or optional.
External examiners contribute an objective perspective on the scholarly quality, originality, and significance of the research, helping to uphold the academic standards of graduate education. Eligibility requirements, nomination procedures, approval processes, and the role of the external examiner are outlined in the Thesis Examination Committee Policy.
Students, supervisors, and graduate program administrators should consult the Supervisory Committees page and related policies for detailed information on external examiner requirements and Thesis Examination Committee composition.
