    Category: Grad School, University-Wide ETD Fall 2025 Submission Deadline


    December 1, 2025

    Date: 

    Monday, December 1, 2025 - 5:00pm

    Location: 

    Each semester has a deadline for the initial submission of theses and dissertations to ProQuest.  The deadline is generally two weeks prior to the final deadline.  Plan your defense accordingly. The document submitted to ProQuest is expected to be a final version, meaning it has been successfully defended, corrections the committee wants have been made, and there are no more content changes. 

    Students are highly encouraged to read and follow the Thesis and Dissertation information available on the Graduate School’s website at: https://grad.msu.edu/etd. This site gives instructions on formatting, required paperwork, and how to submit to ProQuest.

    The Graduate School will not accept documents for review for the current semester after 5:00PM ET on the submission deadline date.
