Submission of the Completed Thesis
Following completion of the final oral examination at which the thesis is passed or passed subject to revisions, the candidate shall make the appropriate revisions where necessary and submit the approved thesis to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research within six months of the date of the final oral examination. If the final oral examination is adjourned, the six-month time limit will take effect from the date of completion of the examination where the thesis was passed with or without revisions. There are also submission deadlines for each convocation period and registration requirements when submitting the thesis.
Graduate students may submit their thesis to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in one of two ways:
- Electronically – involves converting the thesis to a single PDF file and submitting it to FGSR
- Paper (hard copy) – involves submitting two hard copies of the thesis (one to be bound for U of A Libraries)
The complete Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research instructions for submitting the thesis are available online at “Preparing the Thesis”. NOTE: Regardless of the method of submission to the FGSR that is chosen, students must provide the Department of History and Classics with two bound hard copies of the thesis (three in the case of co-supervision).
