Additional Notes and Contact Information

If you have any questions about content, ask your committee chair and members. Check with the Graduate Advisor regarding procedural questions, as well as any possible problems that you have not been able to resolve with your committee.  For formatting questions check with the Thesis and Dissertation Office and the University Format Manual publications.  Be sure to read through the supplemental materials on the Thesis and Dissertation Office’s web site, listed under "Submissions" drop down menu.  These include information regarding “Page Order” and “Setting Up a Table of Contents Tabs.”  

If you are planning to include copyrighted material in your thesis, be sure to contact the copyright holder regarding permission.  A sample permission request form (formatted in Word) is included  on the Thesis web site.  Keep in mind that it can take three – six months (or longer) to hear back.  Please refer to the University Thesis Guidelines or the Thesis and Dissertation Office for additional information regarding copyrights.

If your committee membership changes, you must contact the Graduate Advisor to have the change approved and appropriate revision paperwork filed with the Dean’s office.  If your program coursework changes after you advance to candidacy, you must contact the Graduate Advisor to have the appropriate notification filed with Enrollment Services (if the courses stay the same, and all that changes is when you take/took the course, your Advancement to Candidacy need not be updated).  Also, if your graduation date changes after you have filed your Grad Check, you must do a Request to Change Graduation Term form with Enrollment Services.  Remember, you must be enrolled the semester you graduate (regular coursework or GS 700B).

MA-Psychological Research Option Students: MAPR students are required to have attended at least four department colloquia prior to scheduling preliminary orals, and all six required colloquia must be attended before scheduling final orals.
