My degree requirements were completed in August but the degree was not awarded until January. Can the supervised hours from August be counted toward the postdoctoral 1500 hours?
Yes–as soon as you officially complete all degree requirements, including a successful defense of your dissertation, you can begin accumulating the postdoctoral hours, even if the formal awarding of the degree will not occur for several months. We must receive official documentation from the university of when the requirements were completed.
