<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are receiving this email because you were listed as an advisor for a student who completed the TAD process in a previous semester. Apologies if you are no longer holding an advising role and have received this email unnecessarily, but
we aim to get information to advisors, and consequently students who need it, as broadly as possible. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">TAD Services has recently updated templates for all colleges. Using the template can save students hours in the formatting process, as the minimum requirements for publication have already been incorporated into the template. The Graduate
College is currently in the process of migrating to a new website platform, which means the 2017 TAD templates will not be available on the website until the migration is complete in November of this year.
<b>The 2017 Patton College template is attached to this email</b>, and we encourage you to distribute it to students. Students may also contact TAD Services to request the template.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#ff0000">Deadlines for the 2017-2018 academic year are posted on the TAD website:
<a>https://www.ohio.edu/graduate/<wbr>etd/</a>. Deadlines for the current semester are always located in the upper-right corner of the page. </font>TAD Services also provides workshops in the Fall and Spring semester for students who would like additional training
in meeting TAD requirements, formatting documents in MS Word, and formatting tables and figures in MS Word. The workshop schedule for the upcoming academic year is also posted on the TAD website. We want to make sure that students and their committees are
aware of the deadlines and resources available throughout the TAD process, and we would like to ask you to share these resources with your advisees and anyone else you feel may benefit from this information.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to TAD Services, where we work on getting the document publication-ready, the
<a href="https://www.ohio.edu/graduate/gwrc/" target="_blank"><b>Graduate Writing and Research Center</b></a> is a valuable resource during the research and writing stage of the process with writing groups, in-class workshops, individual appointments, and tutoring. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please be aware when advising students about the Early deadlines for the next semester that it is highly advised that students request an optional pre-defense format review and to be aware that these deadlines fall over the intersessions,
including Winter break, the lead up to commencement, and new student orientation. TAD Services presents these deadlines as a
<b><i>safety net</i></b> and not a primary graduation target for this reason. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you, and we look forward to working with you in the future.<u></u><u></u></p>
