The Examination Committee votes on the acceptability of both the thesis and the oral defence, and informs the candidate of the decision. The student and examination committee will be instructed according to SGS rules regarding changes to the thesis. The student makes modifications to the thesis as required. It is the student's responsibility to prepare the final manuscript for binding according to the University of Toronto guidelines, and to submit the thesis for binding. Binding should be hard cover, buckram, with gold lettering.
Color is the student's choice.
Additional copies may be required for the thesis committee members. SGS prepares the degree recommendation. Students failing to complete all steps by the above deadlines will be required to register and pay fees for another term. The School of Graduate Studies notifies students about convocation arrangements about 4-6 weeks in advance. The examination will proceed with the smaller or altered Examination Committee only with the written agreement of the student.
