Preparing for Graduation

Graduate students who have completed their coursework and are eligible to graduate will need to have an approved graduation application on file prior to completing the steps below.

  • 1. Electronically Submit Defendable Draft of Thesis or Professional Paper

    One week prior to your defense, electronically submit your thesis or professional paper (MS Word or PDF format) to the Graduate School. This is simply to check for formatting errors.

    To submit your draft:

    Email the document to kendall.kihn@mso.umt.edu if your file is small enough.

    2. Submit Final Electronic Version of Thesis or Professional Paper

    Please name your document in the following format: Last Name_First Name_document type (Example: Doe_John_Thesis.pdf)

    Your committee chair will submit your final thesis or professional paper (PDF format), electronically to the Graduate School Office once your document has met all of the following criteria:

    1. Reviewed and approved for defense by the Graduate School
    2. Successfully defended
    3. Revisions made for your committee and the Graduate School

    To submit the final version:
