Notice of Title, Scope, and Procedure of Dissertation
This form is to be completed, signed, and filed with the Graduate School no later than six months before your dissertation examination, and is one of the requirements necessary for you to be considered ABD.  After completing both sections of this form, turn it in to Gail in the Main Office. 

Intent to Graduate Form
Candidates for a degree must file an Intent to Graduate form for the semester in which they intend to graduate. The Office of Student Records provides this form.  They can also inform you about the deadline for filing.  Please note that, if you do not finish by the time you had originally stated in your first Intent to Graduate form, you must file a subsequent form for when you now intend to complete your work.  You should keep your own copy of this form, as it has diploma pick-up and mailing dates.  This form also includes your mailing address, which may change between the time you fill the form out and when you finish your work; therefore, you should contact the Office of Student Records any time you change addresses after filing this form.  NOTE:  You should try to file your Intent to Graduate form on WebSTAC, then if you cannot do so, file the paper form.  Please be sure you give Gail a copy of your completed form whether you file on paper or electronically.   

Doctoral Dissertation Guide
Important!  If your advisor wishes to receive a copy of your bound thesis, you need to submit four (4) copies of your finished thesis (not 3, as stated in the guide).  Attach a note to the 4th copy stating that it is for your advisor and that it should be sent to you home department (EPSc) after binding (and it's probably a good idea to add your signature to the note). 

Master's Thesis Guide
Important!  If your advisor wishes to receive a copy of your bound thesis, you need to submit four (4) copies of your finished thesis (not 3, as stated in the guide).  Attach a note to the 4th copy stating that it is for your advisor and that it should be sent to you home department (EPSc) after binding (and it's probably a good idea to add your signature to the note). 

Dissertation Fellowship Certification Form
Applications for 2008-2009 Dissertation Fellowships will not be considered without inclusion of a form submitted by the home department certifying that the applicant has either already completed all Ph.D. requirements other than the dissertation or is expected to complete the requirements by a specified date.  DF awards are for an anticipated terminal year of writing; therefore virtually all of the necessary research should have been completed prior to the start of the award period.  [Note: Olin and Chancellor’s Fellows are not eligible for the Dissertation Fellowship.]
