It's been a long time, but if I remember right, back in 1987 I was allowed to turn in my dissertation in the quarter following the last one in which I was registered, and I did so.

I would assume you had presented/defended it while you were still registered, yes?

Yes, I did my defense long before my committee was ready to sign off on the written dissertation.
