Deadlines

Submit Your Final Copy

At the first due date, you must submit your APPROVED FINAL COPY of your University Thesis to the Thesis Editor in the Office of Academic Programs and Graduate Studies (WA 859) for format review. (Do not have your committee members sign the approval page until the Thesis Editor has completed the format review.) Your thesis must be typed according to the format requirements in the University Thesis Writing Guide. It must also contain all mandatory sections, with optional sections included if appropriate. The thesis will be proofread for adherence to the required format and returned to you for corrections.
 

Revised/Multiple Copies

At the second due date, you must submit your revised/multiple copies, order the number of copies to be bound, and pay binding fees. After the multiple copies have been submitted and the binding fees paid, the graduation evaluators in Enrollment Services will be notified that the thesis has been accepted. If you need early verification of your graduation (e.g., for an employer), notify the Thesis Editor in the Office of Academic Programs and Graduate Studies and she/he will ensure that Enrollment Services is notified as soon as your thesis has been accepted. You may then request Enrollment Services to prepare a letter of completion.


You must meet both the "Format Review" deadline and the "Copies Due" deadline. These are firm deadlines.

* It is strongly recommended that you submit your University Thesis before this date if possible. This will give you additional time to make any necessary format corrections and have your committee members sign the approval page of the revised version.
