STEP FOUR: Submitting the Thesis or Dissertation to the Department
As directed by the Department Chair, sometime between FIVE WEEKS and SIX WEEKS before graduation the student should submit to the Department Chair a copy of her/his thesis or dissertation for review. (If the Department Chair is a member of the Thesis or Dissertation Committee, less time is probably required.) This will allow two weeks in which (1) the Department Chair reads and comments on the thesis or dissertation and (2) the student makes the necessary corrections to the document.
The student will also need to provide the Department Chair with the signature pages previously signed by the Thesis or Dissertation Committee members and the Thesis or Dissertation Director.
Checklist
❏ A corrected copy of the thesis or dissertation – one incorporating all the corrections required by the Thesis or Dissertation Committee and Thesis or Dissertation Director – was submitted to the Department Chair.
