Academic Calendars and Registration Schedules

Welcome to the Thesis Office!

Our mission is to help students produce a high-quality, well-documented thesis or record of study. While the student's Advisory Committee is responsible for overseeing content, the Thesis Office ensures that every document meets standards for formatting and style established by the university.

Since writing a thesis or record of study can be a daunting process, we've put together this LibGuide with the following types of information:

A Thesis Manual and Pre-Submission Checklist
Templates, Forms, and Style Guides
A list of our Reference Librarians for Research Help - need help with getting started? Trouble finding peer-reviewed articles? Schedule a one-on-one research appointment!
Additional Resources, Tips and Tricks, Citation Help, and much more...

The purpose of this guide is to help you succeed, so take the time to browse around and familiarize yourself with its contents. If there's information you need, but can't find - please ask!

Where to Locate Submitted Thesis Papers

Digital copies of all thesis papers submitted to and approved by the Graduate School may be located in the ProQuest Thesis and Dissertations database as well as in the University's Digital Archives.
