> Dear Graduate Faculty,
>
> The Graduate School/TDS recently sent the following information to students enrolled in a 518 or 718 course. Please share this email with students who may not be enrolled in a 518 or 718 course, but would benefit from this information.
>
> As a reminder, the Graduate School/TDS now uses a Laserfiche digital forms process in place of all paper forms. Because the forms submission process may take a few days to route through the approval process, the Graduate School recommends students submit any forms at least 3-5 days before the deadline so the forms are more likely to reach the Graduate School/TDS by the given deadline.
>
> For information about the dissertation or thesis process, both proposal and final, and for related forms and resources, please visit the TDS/Dissertation web page (www.tamuc.edu/dissertation <http://www.tamuc.edu/dissertation>) or the TDS Thesis web page (www.tamuc.edu/thesis <http://www.tamuc.edu/thesis>).
