Committee Approval of Thesis or Dissertation

As of Spring 2014, hard copies of master's theses and doctoral dissertations are no longer a final submission requirement. With the removal of this requirement, signed signature pages are no longer submitted to The Graduate School. Approval of your document is instead shown with the below forms.

• Doctoral Students: Certification of Completion of Dissertation Requirements for Doctoral Degree. The department will complete this form and route to The Graduate School for approval once the student has met all requirements to graduate. This form must be received by The Graduate School no later than the final deadline. There is no change to this policy.
   
• Master's Students: Certification of Completion of Thesis Requirements for Master's Degree. The department will complete this form and route to The Graduate School for approval once the student has met all requirements to graduate. This form must be received by The Graduate School no later than the final deadline.
