<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Graduate Faculty and Staff,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Graduate School has now gone live with the digital (Laserfiche) thesis process for thesis student to use when submitting thesis forms and documents. The new thesis process includes digital routing of forms for signatures/approvals. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">If a student has already begun the thesis process,
<b><u>they must still complete a Thesis Committee Selection form before they will have access to later forms.</u></b></span><b><u>
</u></b>In other words, if a student is preparing to submit a final thesis document for review and approval, the student will first need to submit a Thesis Committee Selection form and receive approval for it before submitting the Final Thesis Submission Form.
This is required to integrate students into the new digital process. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students will receive notification once a form has been received by the Graduate School/TDS or approved by the Graduate School through the digital process.
