Final Steps
When a student has written his/her thesis and is ready to defend,
there are several steps to be followed. Most importantly, it is
necessary to speak with the Graduate Administrator (Room 210) for
a description of the complete process.
Two weeks before the Final Public Oral Examination:
- Going on deposit:
This means that the thesis is placed on the web for all
department members to read, for a period of two weeks. If
corrections are suggested, the student makes them at that time.
The Web administrator must receive an e-mail from
the student with the thesis in pdf format. Please discuss this
with the Web administrator in advance of this e-mail.
-
One hard copy is to be placed in the office of the Graduate
Administrator - Room 210.
- The student schedules the date and time of the Final Public
Oral Examination. The committee members are selected.
- There are several forms to be completed when going on deposit.
These include:
- Thesis advisor's approval form:
- Degree Application Form
- Request to Hold the Final Public Oral Examination
- Reader's Report (2)
- Dissertation Report Form
- Exit questionnaire
- End of Enrollment form
http://gso.princeton.edu/forms/e65/academic_forms.html
- An abstract
- A title page
These forms are delivered by the student to Dean David Redman's
office, 201 Nassau Hall.
Within a few days, the request is approved by the Dean, and then
two more forms are sent to the Graduate Administator's Office:
Microfilm Agreement Form, and Survey of Earned Doctorate.
After the Final Public Oral exam, the student takes two copies of
the thesis to the bindery. They are to be taken to the Seeley
Mudd Library not more than two weeks after the FPO, together
with a Final Public Oral Examination Report Form
(http://gso.princeton.edu/forms/e65/academic_forms.html)
another abstract, title page, CD with thesis in pdf format, the
Microfilm Agreement Form, and a check book.
Two forms are then taken to 201 Nassau Hall: a signed copy of the
Final Public Oral Report Form, and the original Survey of Earned
Doctorate plus one copy.
