*It is important to remember that if you follow the timeline above, you will not be registered during the Summer Session and will therefore not be eligible for any loans for living expenses between June and August included. It is possible to break with the recommended timeline and register your thesis in the Summer Session, and you can still receive loan funds to cover tuition, fees and living expenses during that session (see Timeline II below). Please also bear in mind that zero credit thesis extensions in future semesters are possible academically, however you are unfortunately not eligible for loan funds or deferment due to federal regulations.
