Important Deadlines

Note:

Electronic submission of theses and dissertations is mandatory for all HSC programs. All students (with the exception of those in the Physician Assistant Program, Occupational Therapy Doctorate, Doctor of Physical Therapy and any students completing a scholarly project) are required to upload their thesis or dissertation to OhioLINK and ProQuest UMI.  Students completing scholarly projects to fulfill program requirements are not required to upload to OhioLINK or ProQuest.

All Theses and Dissertations uploaded to OhioLINK and ProQuest UMI for the Health Science Campus Programs should be in final, publishable format with all fonts properly embedded (see pdf converter link below).  The College of Graduate Studies will check for general observable formatting errors only.  The students are expected to follow the formatting guidelines listed in the Handbook for Preparation of Graduate Dissertations and Theses listed below or may be required to resubmit their document.
