The deadline for the initial submission of theses and dissertations to ProQuest is Monday, November 25 at 5 p.m.  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. 

Students are highly encouraged to read and follow the Thesis and Dissertation information available on the Graduate School’s website at: https://grad.msu.edu/etd. This site gives instructions on formatting, required paperwork, and how to submit to ProQuest.

The Graduate School will not accept documents for review for the current semester after 5:00PM ET on the submission deadline date.
