Subject: Fall 2013 Thesis and Dissertation Deadline--FYI

To:

Hello,

We, at the Graduate School, would like to give a friendly reminder about the Fall Thesis and Dissertation Deadline. Please make sure that your graduating students are aware of the following information:

The deadline date for FINAL APPROVAL of an electronic Thesis or Dissertation by the Graduate School is Friday, December 20, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.

Be aware that a student’s submission via ProQuest does not mean that their document has been ACCEPTED for publishing.The review process is interactive and can take anywhere from a few hours to weeks, depending upon the extent of the necessary revisions and how diligent the author is when making the necessary corrections.

To be able to be approved for publishing, the student’s thesis or dissertation must be considered to be formatted correctly and the necessary paperwork (approval form, IRB or IACUC letter, and survey if applicable) must be turned in prior to the deadline. If the document is not considered to be formatted correctly and/or all necessary paperwork is not turned in by the deadline, the student will most likely be a Spring 2014 graduate instead.

The next month will be extremely busy for our thesis and dissertation reviewers here at the Graduate School. As a result, we encourage students to submit their documents as soon as possible, so that there is plenty of time for review prior to the deadline.
