Please be aware of the following deadlines and steps in your journey toward finishing your degree:

The final submission deadline for theses and dissertations for Spring 2011 is May 6. If you are planning to graduate this semester, your thesis or dissertation MUST be turned in to our office NO LATER than 5:00 p.m. on May 6, but ideally before. And

remember: the earlier your submission, the better!

Email us [log in to unmask]  to set up a format review for your thesis or dissertation. Format reviews are mandatory for ALL theses and dissertations, and should take place AT LEAST 2 - 3 weeks before your defense.

After your format review is finished, we'll set up an appointment to talk about the final submission process. Check out http://thesis.gmu.edu/submission.htm  for further information about your options: ETD v. traditional submission.

Your final step is submission of your completed document; at your submission consultation, you'll get all the paperwork you need to complete and turn in to us when you turn in your thesis or dissertation.

And, as always, we're here to help, and to answer any questions you might have. We look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,
