Your thesis or dissertation must be approved by the Graduate School by the published deadline dates of your graduating term in order to graduate in a given semester. Additionally, all required forms must be completed by the published deadlines.
Once approved, the document is locked and no revisions are allowed. If a student withdraws an approved thesis or dissertation from ProQuest and submits a new one, the new document will not be reviewed for the same semester and their graduation will be delayed until the following term.
Please familiarize yourself with the required submission process, copyright registration, and the student and advisor responsibilities prior to the semester you plan to graduate.
You are required to adhere to the Colorado State University Graduate School formatting and submission guidelines. The guidelines found in your department, listed on any other CSU webpages, or any previously published ETDs may not meet current formatting guidelines.
The word “thesis” refers to both the thesis and the dissertation unless otherwise noted.
