Fall 2009 Thesis Submission
For a guaranteed review for fall graduation, thesis final drafts must be received in our office
on or before Monday, October 26 at 6:00pm.
Only properly formatted theses with all thesis committee members' signatures on the approval page will be accepted.
For more information, see below, especially the "Requirements for Final Thesis Drafts" information sheet.

Theses are reviewed in the order in which they are received, so the earlier you turn it in, the earlier you'll be done!

NOTE: Friday, October 23 is an Administrative Furlough Day, so our office will not be open to accept your thesis on that day.
