A final, original copy, unbound, should be submitted to the Dean of the Graduate School for review at least four weeks before graduation. This copy will be returned for corrections and binding. In consultation with their Committee Chairpersons, students should schedule oral examinations on the content of their theses. These examinations must be held at least three weeks before graduation.
Oral examinations are open to the public.
One page abstracts, giving purpose, methods, and principal findings or conclusions should be prepared to distribute to persons attending oral examinations. Two bound copies of completed and approved theses, including abstracts, are to be delivered to the Graduate School at least two weeks before graduation. These copies will be retained by the University. One will be forwarded to the Ottenheimer Library and the other to the students' major departments.
