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 Spring 2025 Semester, we will accept first-time (initial) submissions of theses and dissertations for Format Review until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 31. Any document sent for an initial Format Review after 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 31 will not be reviewed until Tuesday, May 6 at the very earliest.
For the Spring 2025 Semester, we will perform subsequent reviews (i.e., second round and beyond) of documents until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 30.
Any students who have not passed the Format Review by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 30 will not be eligible to graduate in the Spring 2025 Semester.
We will recommence Format Reviews beginning on Tuesday, May 6.
Final Submission Deadlines:
Special Registration under Spring 2025: Friday, January 17 at 5:00 p.m.
