Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) candidates not completing the dissertation at the end of their third year of study may, with approval of the Director of Graduate Studies in Education, be enrolled in a one-credit extension to complete the dissertation in practice at Lee University. Students must register and render full payment of tuition and fees to maintain continuous enrollment throughout the extension period. Students may repeat this course each semester until the completion of their final dissertation defense at Lee (up to 4 additional years).
