One or more additional members with appropriate credentials may be included on the committee from outside the University. The thesis advisor serves as the chair of the committee. You and your advisor are responsible for making arrangements for a room and advertising your dissertation defense. Once your advisor has determined that your dissertation is satisfactory, copies of the dissertation should be provided to each member. The copies submitted should be in a form suitable for final submission.
Preparation Use any good quality of paper.
Final copies should be of letter-quality print, produced from a laser printer. If you question the acceptability of your print, your graduate school coordinator will be happy to view a sample to make a determination. The text of the dissertation should be double spaced with the exception of footnotes and long quotations. Print should appear only one side of the paper. Each page of the dissertation should be assigned a number.
