Each semester has a deadline for the initial submission of theses and dissertations to ProQuest. The deadline is generally two weeks prior to the final deadline. Plan your defense accordingly.
The document submitted to ProQuest is expected to be a final version, meaning it has been successfully defended, corrections the committee wants have been made, and there are no more content changes.
The Graduate School will not accept documents for review for the current semester after 5:00PM ET on the submission deadline date.
Final Deadline
Each semester has a final deadline where documents have been accepted and delivered for publishing, all required paperwork has been turned in, all milestones have been completed and all degree audits have been completed.
Your document must be accepted and delivered to the publisher, ProQuest, by 5:00PM ET on the final deadline date.
