Degree Information

Pre-Defense Publication of Thesis or Dissertation Material

Graduate students may publish material that subsequently will be used as part of the thesis, dissertation or record of study provided that they notify the Office of Graduate Studies in writing at the time the students submit the papers for publication. The notification should include the article title, the names of authors as they appear on the paper, the name of the journal, and the date of submission.

In addition, students should be aware of the agreement that is signed when a journal (hard copy or electronic) accepts an article for publication. At that time, the student assigns rights to the journal as publisher. The student must obtain written permission from the copyright holder to include the material in the thesis, dissertation and record of study.
