Student Responsibility . Graduate students are expected to know the requirements for the degree they plan to earn. While their advisors and faculty members will endeavor to aid them in any way possible, the responsibility for an error in registration or in the interpretation of regulations and requirements rests with the student. Final copies of theses must be submitted in photo-ready typed format, using a letter quality typewriter or printer. Three bound copies of the thesis are minimal-two for the library and one for the department.
Custom frequently dictates two additional copies-one for the thesis advisor and one for the student.
The fees for binding and copying must be paid at the time an application for graduation is filed. The official style manual for theses is available from the graduate dean. An approval code from the Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human subjects is required before data collection involving human subjects may begin. Students desiring transcripts of their graduate credits may obtain them by writing to the office of academic records and summer school. Transcripts are typically processed in 24-48 hours.
