Form 7: Application for Graduate Degree
The student must submit three copies of the thesis to the University Library after all corrections and additions required by the Examining Committee have been completed. Students submit project papers to the library if the graduate program requests that they be submitted. The thesis or project paper must be accompanied by Form 7 signed by the advisor verifying that the final copy has been approved. The library staff will examine the format of the final copy and will, upon receipt of the binding fee, verify the thesis deposit by signing Form 7. In programs which do not require a thesis or project paper, the Form 7 may be signed and delivered to the Director of Graduate Studies following the successful completion of the oral examination.
