ETD Guide

When you turn in your D5/M3 before your defense, this is what you'll need:

• Paperwork is due 3 weeks before defense 
• If defending during the semester in which you will graduate, there is a defense (and D5/M3) deadline
  • for instance, if May 22 is the defense deadline, the paperwork deadline is May 1
• Check your academic unit deadlines, which are usually a week or more before UGS deadlines
• Hard-copy draft may not be reviewed and returned before defense, although we try
• After the defense, you will make all edits from UGS and committee, and commence the Final ETD Approval Steps.
