Thesis Process
Changes to Thesis Process
On September 26, 2005 the Graduate Council voted to no longer include faculty signatures as part of the official thesis pages. Faculty committee members will still sign an official document indicating their approval of the thesis and abstract, but it will not be included as a page in the thesis. The signed approval page will become part of the student’s Graduate School file. This change will become effective for all May 06 grades and beyond. Approval pages within the thesis will simply list the committee member/mentor names. Based on this decision, the Style and Policy Manual for Theses and Dissertations has been rewritten to reflect the change and the format for the new approval pages.
Changes to note:
- new “Statement of Approval of the Thesis” form with signatures of all committee members;
- revision to the format and signature component of the approval page of the thesis, also now dated by the Graduate School upon submission;
- revision to the signature component of the abstract page of the thesis.
