ETD Deadline Day – SS21

Date: 

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 (All day)

The dead line for FINAL APPROVAL of an electronic Thesis or Dissertation by the Gra duate School is TODAY at 5:00 p.m. To accept a document for publishing on or before the deadline means that the student’s document has been reviewed by a graduate school employee, the document has been determined to be fo rmatted correctly AND all required paperwork has been turned in to the Gra duate School PRIOR TO the deadline date and time. Deadline day is not just the day that the document is to be submitted via ProQuest for the first t ime. It is the day where all of the requirements must be completed. Chance s are, if a document is submitted on deadline day for the first time, th e document will most likely be accepted for graduation in the next semeste r.

Students are encouraged to submit their document at least 2 weeks prior to the deadline. As long as the student has successfully defended th e thesis or dissertation and has made the corrections that the committee r equires, he or she may feel free to submit the document via the ProQuest website.

Students are highly encouraged to read and follow the Thesis and Dissertation information available on the Graduate School’s website a t: https://grad.msu.edu/etd. This site gives instructions on formatting, required paperwork, and how to submit to ProQuest.

For Ph.D. student s: The student’s GradPlan should be official and be as complete as possibl e prior to submitting to ProQuest.
