The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Computer Science and Technology, has approved an amendment to the regulations for this degree so as to permit the electronic submission of Part II dissertations, as follows:
Regulation 17.
By amending the second sentence of the regulation to read:
The dissertation, which shall not exceed 12,000 words in length, excluding appendices, footnotes, and bibliography, shall be submitted by the candidate to the Head of the Department in a format as prescribed by him or her so as to arrive not later than noon on the third Friday before the first day of the examination.
The Board is satisfied that no candidate’s preparation for the examination in 2017 will be affected by this change.
