for Graduate Program Administrators | for June 2012 Doctoral Candidates
Deadlines: By 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 11, Spring 2012 doctoral candidates should complete the submission steps on the UMI ETD Administrator for the University of Chicago. The Survey of Earned Doctorates may be completed online also. The University Registrar has additional deadlines, and your department may as well.
The University of Chicago Dissertation Office is located in Room 100B of the Joseph Regenstein Library. Directions to the University of Chicago, parking information, and transportation options are noted on the UChicagoMaps site. Please contact Dissertation Office staff if you have any questions.
Regular office hours are Mondays-Thursdays, 9am-noon/1:30-4:30pm, and Fridays, 10:30am-noon/1:30-4:30pm. Actual hours may vary.
Dissertations must comply with the specifications set by ProQuest/UMI, by the Library, by the author's department, and by the University.
Dissertation Requirements: Doctoral dissertations are original contributions to scholarship. As a condition for receipt of the doctorate, all students are required to execute a publication agreement with ProQuest UMI Dissertation Publishing.
The public sharing of original dissertation research is a principle to which the University is deeply committed, and dissertations should be made available to the scholarly community at the University of Chicago and elsewhere in a timely manner. In exceptional circumstances such as potential endangerment of research subjects or the dissertation author, for example, students may choose an embargo period in ProQuest, in consultation with their advisor and after receiving permission from the Deputy Provost for Graduate Education. If a dissertation includes copyrighted material beyond fair use, the author must obtain permission from the holder of the copyright.
All dissertations must follow the formatting and submission requirements stated in University-wide Requirements for the Ph.D. Dissertation, available from the Dissertation Office on the first floor of the Joseph Regenstein Library.
