All theses and dissertations must go through the mandatory Format Review. We strongly recommend that students submit their documents for the Format Review as soon as possible to avoid delays.
UDTS does not review content; we only review documents to confirm that they adhere to University Formatting Guidelines. Therefore, students may continue to make changes to their documents' content after passing the Format Review.
For the Fall 2024 Semester, we will accept first-time (initial) submissions of theses and dissertations for Format Review until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 4. Any document sent for an initial Format Review after 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 4 will not be reviewed until Monday, December 16 at the very earliest.
For the Fall 2024 Semester, we will perform subsequent reviews (i.e., reviews beginning with the second round) of documents until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 4.
Any students who have not passed the Format Review by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 4 will not be eligible to graduate in the Fall 2024 Semester.
We will recommence Format Reviews beginning on Monday, December 16.
Final Submission Deadlines:
Special Registration under Fall 2024: Friday, August 23 at 5:00 p.m.
