The review process begins with your major professor. Major professors may wish to review portions of your thesis or wait until you have a completed draft. Frequent communication with your major professor is essential during this phase. Once your major professor has cleared the thesis (often after a number of different revisions), the thesis is sent to your thesis committee for further review. When you receive review comments and suggestions from committee members, you will work with them to satisfy their concerns, questions, and changes. When your major professor and each of your committee members agrees that the thesis is complete, then it is time to schedule your thesis seminar and oral defense examination. During this process of the defense and oral examination, additional issues may arise that result in additional revisions to the thesis. These revisions are made following the defense and oral examination. When the major professor and each committee member approves of these final changes, six copies of the final version are printed, original signatures are obtained from the major professor, all committee members, the graduate coordinator, and the department chair then the thesis is complete.
