Reminder: Thesis and Dissertation Filing Deadline Spring 2018 is June 15

Please share this important reminder with your graduate students who plan to file an electronic thesis or dissertation (ETD) in Spring 2018.

·       The Spring 2018 deadline is Friday, June 15, 2018, at 5 pm PST.  Do NOT wait until the last day to file your thesis or dissertation.

·       Please read the Filing Requirements thoroughly. All formatting requirements are explained throughout this document.

·       For more important information about the submission process and to view Frequently Asked Questions, visit https://www.grad.ucla.edu/etd.

 

To assist students and committee members with questions and concerns, the Academic Services Office will remain open until 5:00 PM PST on Friday, June 15, 2018.

Formatting Matters!

·       Accurate and complete formatting is required of all submitted manuscripts.

·       Review the examples found in pages 27 – 37 of the Filing Requirements. The formatting of your preliminary page must match these samples exactly.

·       For technical formatting assistance, please contact the CLICC lab.

·       Submissions are not complete until you receive final approval from Graduate Division—incorrect formatting will delay approval.

HELPFUL HINTS

1.      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.

2.      The committee page of your manuscript must only include certifying committee members.

3.  Your committee members must log in to https://go.grad.ucla.edu to sign off on your final oral exam and/or manuscript.

4.      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.

5.      In order to meet the filing 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 June 9, three committee members sign on June 11, and the final committee member signs on June 15 by 5pm PST, your filing date will be June 15 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!
