Electronic Thesis & Dissertation
Current ETD Dates and Deadlines
Please see below for current ETD deadlines for the upcoming semesters. Be sure to check here at the beginning of each semester to confirm your ETD deadline. To ensure that your submissions are properly received by the ETD Staff, please submit by 5 P.M. on the day of your designated deadline.
ETD Review
Initial review of the ETD generally takes 5-10 business days (and begins only once all submission requirements [ETD Registration, COA Packet, and ProQuest Submission] have been completed by the student). Note that ETDs submitted close to or on the deadline may require longer review times. Keep an eye on your email 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 during the review process.
Late ETD Submission
ETDs submitted after the deadline without an extension request form from the Office of Graduate Studies may not be processed for that semester's graduation. Students may be required to register again in the following semester.
