The Graduate School offers a
document entitled ``Dissertation Guidelines''
which indicates, among other things,
the proper format for the title page, signature page, and abstract
of the dissertation.
Another form required for a student preparing to schedule
the final defense of the dissertation is the ``Dissertation Acceptance Final
Examination Scheduling'' form, also available at the Graduate School Office.
The final rough draft of a doctoral thesis should be typed and enough copies made so that each member of the Doctoral Committee may read it, make corrections, and give approval. Once this approval has been obtained from the entire committee, preparation of the final typed copy should begin. Departmental typists are not required to type theses. A copy of the typed thesis must be presented at the Graduate School when the defense is scheduled. The student must pay all costs involved in the preparation and duplication of the manuscript as well as all fees.
