We know deadlines can feel daunting. Over the years, we’ve received a lot of questions from graduate students who are ready to submit their theses and dissertations, so we’ve created a guide to ease the stress associated with the process. “Everything you need is in one place to save you time and reduce stress, so that you can focus on finishing and submitting your thesis,” said Carrie Breton, repository analyst, Research & Scholarship.
In the Thesis & Dissertation Submission Guide, you’ll find clear, practical steps, including:
- A link to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (OGPS) Thesis Completion Guide, which includes formatted templates.
- Instructions for completing the online Atrium submission form, including guidance for resubmission if your submission is rejected.
- An overview of the theses and dissertations review workflow, including a visual breakdown of each step that outlines who is involved, and what support is available to you at each stage of the process.
Where to direct your questions
- For questions about your thesis formatting, contact the OGPS.
- For any technical issues you may have when submitting your thesis to the Atrium, and for questions regarding your author rights and licensing, contact the library.
