It is the students’ responsibility to stay up to date on all forms and deadlines related to their thesis/SRP. Due dates for the final thesis submission to the graduate school are typically mid-semester. This means that the thesis must be defended with final draft approval by the major professor before the middle of the semester they intend to graduate.
