General Policies and Procedures

Thesis or Dissertation Submission Procedures

Once a student has successfully defended the thesis or dissertation, the major professor must submit the Oral Defense Form with the signatures of the student's advisory committee and division chair to the Graduate Studies Office. The student must submit a digital copy of the thesis or dissertation to the Graduate Studies Office two weeks before the deadline established by the Toulouse Graduate School. This digital copy must be formatted as a single “.doc” or “.docx” file and must be submitted via the Graduate Studies Office Site on Canvas. This process provides the Director of Graduate Studies and the Dean of the College of Music adequate time to read and approve the thesis. Once they have done so, the Graduate Studies Office will notify the student that s/he may submit the final document to the Toulouse Graduate School. The Graduate Studies Office cannot guarantee consideration of theses submitted less than two weeks prior to the deadline established by the Toulouse Graduate School.
