The student should notify the Graduate Program Assistant (Nicole Dover) and the Director of Graduate Studies (Randall Salekin) of the date of the Thesis Examination/Defense and include the following information:

  • Your Name (and email)
  • CWID
  • Program/Area
  • Date of Defense

  • Name and email address of Committee Chair
  • Name and email address of Co-chair (if there is one)
  • Name and email address of external committee member
  • Name(s) and email address(es) of other committee member(s)

The Department Administrative Assistant will create a folder in UA box and issue an invitation to the student and the committee chair. The student should upload the document to UA Box (Document Upload Thesis and Dissertation) at least five working days prior to the meeting (working days are days on which UA offices are open). Also, at this time, raw data and variable labels should be uploaded to UA Box Upload Thesis and Dissertation.

The committee chair is responsible for collecting rubrics and uploading them to the Box folder Rubric Upload.

Please notify Nicole Dover when revisions have been made, the student and chair are ready to sign-off on revisions, and it is ready to be submitted to the Graduate School through ProQuest. Nicole Dover will then initiate the Committee Acceptance Form.
