Graduation Guidelines and Deadlines for Master's Candidates for fall, 2008

Please note that beginning fall, 2008, the procedures for master's students to apply for graduation have changed.

The remaining items are due in the Graduate School, Main Building 101, on or before December 5, 2008 in order to graduate in fall, 2008.

THESIS OR REPORT OPTION STUDENTS  
There are currently two formats being accepted for the thesis or report:  1) an electronic version, in the form of a pdf file on compact disk (CD) or zip disk or 2) the traditionally bound version printed on cotton paper.  Either format requires an additional printed copy of the following pages to be submitted separately from your thesis or report:

  • a title page,
  • a signature page (with original signatures of your supervising committee as listed on your Master's Graduation Application Form), and
  • an Abstract.

Theses and reports must follow the guidelines of the graduate school format booklet, Format for the Master's Thesis and Report (.pdf). A format check for either electronic or print versions is recommended before turning in your completed work.  If the format check is not done prior to submission of your completed work, one will be done at that time.  Contact one of the following degree evaluators.

Mike Feissli (mastapp@uts.cc.utexas.edu) or
William Crain (williamc@mail.utexas.edu)

THESIS OPTION ONLY   Copyright Disclaimer (.pdf) and Photocopy Permission (.pdf)
Thesis students are required to sign and submit these forms with their finished thesis and paperwork. These forms are available on the online forms page.

Failure to meet specified deadlines may result in a postponement of your graduation. Long lines to see a degree evaluator are typical around deadline days. It is highly recommended that students meet their deadlines as early as possible to avoid the added inconvenience and crowding that is expected at the last minute. Please contact a degree evaluator at 471-4511 if you have any questions, or stop by Main Building 101, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
