ATTN: PhD & MS Thesis Students Graduating Spring 2016

The Spring 2016 deadline is Tuesday, May 31, 2016, at 5 pm PST.  Do NOT wait until the last day to file your thesis or dissertation.
·         Please read the Filing Requirements.
·         For more important information about the submission process and to view Frequently Asked Questions, visit https://www.grad.ucla.edu/etd.

*Note: UCLA Graduate Division will be closed in observance of Memorial Day on Monday, May 30, 2016.  Any inquiries or submissions received will be addressed upon our return on Tuesday, May 31st.

HELPFUL HINTS
1.      Your committee members must log in to https://go.grad.ucla.edu to sign off on your final oral exam and/or manuscript.
2.      After completing your process, you can log back into the Graduate Division website (https://www.grad.ucla.edu/etd) to check the status of your committee approvals.
3.      Your name in your manuscript must match the name that appears in official university records.  If you wish to change the name of record, you must file a change of name petition in the Registrar’s Office prior to the ETD submission.
4.      The committee page of your manuscript must only include certifying committee members.
5.      What counts as submitting by the deadline? How will the Graduate Division determine my filing date and whether I've met the deadline? All of the following must occur by the official deadline:
·         All required committee members have signed off
·         Committee has certified you have passed the final oral exam (if applicable)
·         You have submitted a final PDF via ProQuest (After Graduate Division approval of the manuscript, no changes can be made)
·         You have completed the online Graduate Division process at https://www.grad.ucla.edu/etd
The last date that all of the items listed above is complete will be your filing date. For example, if you submit your final dissertation PDF and complete the online process on May 27, three committee members sign on May 28, and the final committee member signs on May 31 by 5pm PST, your filing date will be May 31 assuming you have met all other degree requirements.
If you have any questions, please contact Academic Services at (310) 825-3819 or email academicservices@grad.ucla.edu.

Best wishes for the successful completion of your graduate education!
