[Itech] Fwd: TAD Services: Doctoral and Masters Deadlines for Spring 2013

[Teresa Franklin]

Dear Graduates,

If you plan to defend a thesis or dissertation to graduate in May (May 3rd
to be exact!) then you need to memorize this schedule or put it somewhere
that you can easily find the deadlines.

Remember it is* not the responsibility of your advisor, thesis chair or
dissertation chair to meet the deadlines* --- these are YOUR deadlines.
Follow them carefully and make sure you allow for enough time for your
committee and chair to review/edit your materials before they go to TAD!

Best wishes,
Dr. Franklin

Subject: TAD Services: Doctoral and Masters Deadlines for Spring 2013
To:


 To all College-office contacts, Graduate Directors, Chairpersons and
Advisors,

First, I would like to thank you for your continuing assistance with
students as they proceed toward graduation with a thesis or dissertation.
The first semester for TAD Services has ended and we are happy to announce
that with everyone's help and cooperation, 61 students completed the TAD
Process under the new deadlines. Unfortunately, several students who could
have been Fall graduates had to complete the process early for Spring due
to deadline confusion and I hope you will take a few moments to review the
deadlines as we go into Spring semester which will definitely be more busy
and will offer more chances for deadline confusion among students.

I am attaching the AY 2012-13 deadline sheet to this email to clarify all
deadlines. I request that you print a copy for your references and
encourage you to share it with students.

*All deadlines listed are firm and interdependent.* Missing any of the
deadlines will result in a failure to graduate without exception. As the
only full time staff member handling TAD Services any question of missing
deadlines will be referred to the Associate Dean as I will not be in a
position to discuss deadlines and attend to graduating students at the same
time. All deadline information is available on the TAD Services website and
has been available for a year. Students who miss the Spring semester
deadline can always attempt the “Early for Summer” deadline to avoid
tuition and fees in the Summer, but their graduation date will NOT be for
May.

*Please note the different deadlines for Doctoral and Masters
candidates.*Masters candidate deadlines are approximately one month
after doctoral
deadlines.

*A doctoral candidate who misses the doctoral deadline will not be
permitted participate in commencement.* Exceptions to this rule will be
approved in limited cases when students fail to meet the requisite
deadlines for spring graduation due to extenuating circumstances.

As a reminder, the Graduate College requires students at a minimum to:

   - *Follow discipline-specific style guidelines* (APA, MLA, Chicago,
   etc.). The Patton College has an additional handbook for their students to
   follow.
   - *Format the front of the document and other general formats to meet
   TAD guidelines. *(Sample front matter is available here: *
   http://www.ohio.edu/graduate/upload/FOD_Sample.pdf*)
   - *Student, advisor, and committee are responsible for the academic
   integrity, spelling, punctuation, grammar, and scholarly format of the
   document. *
   - *If a non-traditional, free-form layout is selected* for illustration
   purposes, the body of the document must be created using a style guide and
   the established formatting guidelines and then the presentation of the
   non-traditional, free-form layout should be placed in the appendix.
   - *If a non-traditional, free-form layout is selected* for illustration
   purposes, the student may consider presenting this information as a
   multimedia piece that links from the required “front” of document text
   (i.e. abstract, introduction). First, according to a style guide, the
   student would create the standard front matter and reference list and then,
   provide a link to a multimedia slide presentation that displays each page
   of the dissertation one page at a time.


Templates are available and have been updated since last summer. Please
direct students to www.ohio.edu/tad to find all required forms and optional
templates.

Dr. Angela McCutcheon has accepted a new position outside of the university
and will no longer be a contact for TAD Services. Her last day with OU will
be January 16. Any questions about the TAD process should be directed to
armstros at ohio.edu or 740-597-2770. Any forms, document submissions should
be sent to tad at ohio.edu for the fastest service.

Thank you all again for your continuing support,
Sara Armstrong
