For a student whose program includes a thesis, the thesis must be approved by the professor in charge and accepted by the other members of the student's committee. The final draft of the thesis should be prepared in strict accordance with the instructions given in the pamphlet Thesis and Dissertation Form, which is available at the Office of the Dean. After the thesis has been accepted by the committee, one original copy and one photocopy, both on 100 percent cotton-content bond paper, are to be filed with the dean of the Graduate School–Newark. The student must take this step by the announced deadlines for completion of degree requirements.
