[GradFacultyStaff] TDS Email to Students Re: Thesis/Dissertation Requirements

Mon Jan 25 15:43:42 CST 2021

Graduate Faculty,

Hello!  My name is Karin Thomas and I am the Thesis and Dissertation Specialist for the Graduate School/Thesis and Dissertation Services (TDS).  The Graduate School recently sent the following information to students enrolled in a 518 or 718 course.  Please continue to be aware that, for doctoral students, grades of U now impact academic standing, including U's earned in 718.

All submissions should be sent by the student to TDS electronically via email to TDS at tamuc.edu<mailto:TDS at tamuc.edu>. If you serve as an advisor on a student's thesis or dissertation advisory committee, please make sure student submissions are complete. TDS will not review a proposal submission or final document submission unless it includes all required documents and forms with all required signatures; this includes the IRB, IACUC, or IBC approval letters.  Approvals for proposals and dissertations submitted after the deadline will be processed for the following semester. Once received, please allow 15-20 working days for the review to be completed. All emails will be sent to the student's LeoMail with a copy to the student's advisor.

Deadlines: For students graduating Spring 2021, Summer 2021, or Fall 2021, the following deadlines will need to be adhered to:
