Submission deadline: The formatting check for the submission process may take up to several weeks to complete. Students should allot sufficient time--2 weeks minimum--to complete the library deposit requirement. Acceptance for deposit is not guaranteed if requested revisions from the formatting check are incomplete.
For doctoral dissertations and projects, the deposit deadline is before the add/drop date of the next semester (omitting summer semester). For master’s theses, the deposit deadline is the last day of the month of the semester. Beyond these deadlines, please inquire with your department chair.
Students should note that citation styles and organizational practices may have changed and thus should avoid using past work as a template. Follow the guidelines and the template documents in the appendix.
The library maintains a list of completed dissertations & theses from our graduates. A full text & searchable database of digitized titles is available at Dissertations & Theses @ University of the West for current library patrons. Some items may also be freely available in Open Access at the institutional repository.
