Can the postgraduate graduation defense be postponed?

At the press conference held by the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism on February 28th, Weng Tiehui said that Hubei students, especially Wuhan students, returned to school late due to the epidemic situation, and universities all over the country have been asked to do a good job in a more humane way to create conditions for their graduation and employment.

The Ministry of Education will issue a document soon, and the graduation defense and degree evaluation of graduate students can be extended appropriately. In addition, the number of meetings of the Academic Degrees Committee can be increased, and the issue of degree awarding can be determined by stages. The Ministry of Education will also strengthen the protection of all graduates. College graduates who have not implemented their work units when they leave school can keep their accounts and files in the school for two years according to regulations, and then go through employment procedures in time after implementing their work units.
