The pre-submittal conference is designed to provide guidance on the preparation, submission, and review of the ETD. This conference is offered in a group workshop format.

Timeframe to attend: Students are recommended to attend the pre-submittal conference after the oral defense has been scheduled. This scheduled conference lasts approximately one hour. To get the most from this conference, we recommend you bring your manuscript with you in as close to final form as possible (printed or on your computer) along with a sample journal article.

Thesis Office staff will review format guidelines, share sample pages, and answer questions on style and format, as well as address deadlines and requirements for submittal and clearance.
