Reminder:

Each candidate is expected to deposit TWO copies of the Thesis with the Office of Graduate Student Services BEFORE exiting.  Both copies are to be printed on Minimal 20-lb. Weight, 25% cotton fiber bond paper.  Any other copies are considered "personal" copies and are the sole responsibility of the student. Personal copies can be ordered directly from www.Acmebook.com.   For M.A. candidates, these two copies are due in the Graduate Office within 48 hours after the Oral Exam/Approval. 

Composition of Examination Committee:

Each examination committee is to be designated by the department chairperson with the graduate student's research advisor.  The second reader should be a member of the department and chair the examination and thesis committee.  The third reader will usually be a department faculty member, but need not be.  The thesis must be acceptable and approved before an oral examination is granted to the student.
