Submission Deadlines

Thesis and dissertation related documents are reviewed year-round in the order received. The review process typically takes between 6 and 8 weeks. Students should expect at least one, and possibly two rounds of manuscript formatting corrections.

Students who are enrolled in 794/594

Students who are enrolled in 594, 794, or a similar course during the semester they wish to graduate may defend and upload the checklist and the first draft of the manuscript at any time. To ensure ample time for formatting revisions, we recommend that students wishing to graduate in the fall submit the checklist in October. Students who wish to graduate in the spring should submit the checklist in March and students who wish to graduate in the summer should submit the checklist in June.
