- Late-May: after final grades have been submitted, students who have completed all prerequisites will receive final acceptance email message, with acknowledgments to supervisor.

- Summer before fourth year: students should meet with their supervisors and begin planning the thesis project. It is wise to do as much of the preparatory reading as possible over the remainder of the summer in order to be able to start writing the proposal soon after classes start in September.
