Electronic Thesis & Dissertation
Current ETD Dates and Deadlines
The following are the current ETD deadlines for the three most current semesters. Future dates may change from time to time. Please check here at the beginning of each semester to ensure you are on track.
ETD Review
Review of the ETD will generally require 7-10 business days (once all of the submission requirements have been completed), although ETDs submitted close to or on the deadline may require longer review times. Keep an eye on your inbox so you don't miss any updates to your submission.
Double-check your inbox and spam folder for emails from ProQuest before reaching out to the ETD Administrative Specialists.
Late ETD Submission
ETDs submitted after the thesis/dissertation deadline without an extension request form from Dr. Ruth Bahr will not be processed for that semester's graduation. You will have to register again in the following semester.

the ETD must complete the required revisions specified by the Office of Graduate Studies,
resubmit the ETD and receive approval by the final clearance deadline.
