If you are preparing for your final thesis or dissertation, there are specific formatting guidelines that you must follow in order for it to be complete. The Graduate School has provided those guidelines for you on their website, along with all of the deadline dates that you will need to be aware of. Please make every effort to read the guidelines and to follow their instruction. They will be able to keep you from having several rounds of revisions and will make your final thesis the beautiful work it was intended to be.
We will also be hosting Thesis Workshops for those that need a more interactive approach to address thesis formatting issues. These workshops are designed to assist students with formatting their thesis properly at the beginning of the writing process, therefore making the review period for both student and reviewer much quicker and easier. If the student’s thesis is not formatted properly and approved by the chair by the established deadline, the student’s graduation will be deferred to the next term. There are 3 workshops scheduled, so please make every effort to attend.
