PhD Residency Requirements and Form
Resident, on-campus study is the foundation for research-based graduate degree programs at Auburn University. Any graduate student enrolled in a degree program culminating in a thesis or dissertation:
- must directly engage with the major professor,
- must have access to the research tools needed for the research activity,
- must be immersed in the culture of graduate education,
- must engage in the professional activities of the discipline, and
- must complete the research activity in a reasonable period of time.
Graduation requires the major professor to certify compliance with these requirements by submitting the Certification of Graduate Residency form to the Graduate School.
