Thesis Review Process
When the thesis is completed, the Thesis Chair schedules an examination, which may be oral or written, and all members of the thesis committee must certify its results.
During the quarter in which you plan to graduate, you must submit copies of the following pages of your final, approved thesis to the Office of Student and Academic Services (OSAS) no later than the day prior to the last day of the quarter in which you plan to graduate. For example, in Spring 2006, the last day of the quarter is Friday, June 9, 2006; copies of the following pages must be submitted by Thursday, June 8, 2006:
- Thesis Title Page
- Thesis Signature Page (signed by committee)
- Thesis Abstract Page
Receipt of these pages serves as verification to OSAS that the thesis has been formally approved and completed. Note: OSAS does not need a full copy of the thesis.
However, two copies of the final approved thesis must be submitted to the Graduate School by the last day of the quarter in which the student intends to graduate, in accordance with Graduate School guidelines and requirements.
If you have questions on the thesis process, contact Marie Duplantis, MLIS Academic Advisor, by e-mail at mardup@washington.edu, or contact your faculty advisor.
