What happens after I've passed my thesis/dissertation defense?

After you have successfully defended:

·    Make any and all revisions deemed necessary by your committee.

·    Take your revised thesis/dissertation and your Thesis/Dissertation Format and Style form (signed by Dr. Evelyn Funda) to the grad school to be reviewed by Steve Beck, Assistant Dean of Graduate School (Old Main, Rm 164). He will contact Candi  Checketts for pick up once he is finished.

·    Candi will review the mark-ups before notifying the student via email to pick up thesis/dissertation.

·    Make corrections that Steve Beck has outlined on your thesis/dissertation.

·    Bring the revised thesis/dissertation back to Candi Checketts; she will do what is called a “red-line check”

o   She will double check to make sure you have made all corrections per Steve’s request        .

o   If anything has been missed, Candi will notify you via email; you make corrections and send them back via email.

Once these steps have been completed, Candi will take your final thesis/dissertation to the grad school.

When the grad school has done the final check of your thesis/dissertation, they will inform you via email that you can pick it up. You will need to take it to the library to be bound. There is a one-time $15.00 fee for processing and handling. For every copy you wish to have bound, you will need to bring printed copies of your thesis/dissertation. Each copy will cost $15.00. After you have paid for the binding, you will get a receipt that you need to take back to the grad school to close your file out so you can graduate. The library will also give you a date that you can pick up your bound thesis/dissertation. If you have any questions you can call the library and speak with Lindsey at 435-797-2894.
