Subject: Thesis and Dissertation Services Semester Deadlines for AY 2012-13
To:


Dear Graduate Directors/Chairpersons and Staff:

Attached to this email please find the schedule of Thesis and Dissertation
deadlines for the upcoming 2012-13 Academic Year. Please note that policies
regarding these deadlines have changed and have been approved by Graduate
Council. The Graduation Application Deadlines will be updated as soon as
they are available from the registrar’s office and the note to College of
Health Sciences and Professions students is pending approval. Other than
those exceptions, this is a final draft.

In previous years, only the Format Review deadline and the deadline to
apply to graduate were firm. Beginning in Fall Semester 2012, all deadlines
posted on this sheet are final and exceptions cannot be granted by TAD
Services. ****

   - *The Oral Defense Deadline *is the last day a student may defend his
   or her thesis or dissertation and graduate in the semester in question. TAD
   Services will continue to recommend allowing two weeks before the Format
   Review Deadline. ****
   - *The Format Review Deadline* is the last day a student can submit his
   or her document for an initial format review. The content of the thesis or
   dissertation MUST be approved by the advisor and committee at this point
   and TAD will request the signed Oral Defense form at this time. Pre-oral
   defense reviews earlier in the term are encouraged and can be requested as
   long as the student has the front matter and references intact and at least
   three formatted chapters available for review. ****
   - *The Final Clearance Deadline* is the last day in which TAD can allow
   a student to complete the process in the semester in question. Any lacking
   paperwork by this date will make a student ineligible to graduate. ****
   - *Early completion deadlines* (highlighted in gray on the schedule) are
   now more clearly defined and follow the same firm status as regular
   semester deadlines. ****

Early completion deadlines for TAD Services only apply to formal written
theses and dissertations (excludes projects and research papers). These
deadlines allow a student to avoid registration in the term in which they
graduate as noted in the Graduate Catalog, which states:****

If the student has completed all degree requirements prior to the start of
the first day of classes in the term he or she will officially graduate,
the student does not have to register for that term provided he or she
meets the following conditions:****

   - The student has enrolled in all required coursework,   ****
   - The student has completed all final projects and/or deposited the
   final copy of the thesis or dissertation, and   ****
   - The student has removed all incompletes.****


Any questions about the deadlines can be directed to Sara Armstrong
597-2770 or armstros at ohio.edu.

Thank you,
Sara Armstrong
