Planning your thesis submission | GRTP42

Submitting your thesis is an important final stage of your graduate journey and involves specific requirements, procedures, and deadlines. Planning ahead can help you understand what is expected and prepare for a smoother submission process.

In this workshop, you will review different kinds of theses, including research-creation and manuscript-based theses, and the requirements and considerations for each. You will also explore important deadlines and procedures for thesis submission.

If you are in the writing stage of your thesis, you will have time during the workshop to begin planning your own timeline and submission plan.

After the workshop, participants will be able to:

- Identify the structures and committees involved in thesis submission;

- Describe different types of theses, and special considerations for each;

- Recognize important deadlines for thesis submission;

- Develop a timeline leading up to your defence and thesis submission.
