These dates are "no later than" dates. Participants are encouraged to submit work prior to these dates. Please do not ask for an extension of any of these dates. Submissions should be to dminla@andrews.edu. Help in setting up your schedule leading to assessment (formerly referred to as the defense) is provided by calling 1-269-471-3552. Where dates fall on a week-end or holiday, count the next business day as the deadline.
