Dissertation Office
Welcome
Dissertations/theses are to be submitted to the Dissertation Office via email after the dissertation/thesis defense, and after the committee is satisfied with your final changes. Please have your program director send the final, approved PDF document to: dissertationoffice@andrews.edu. Ask them to include your name, ID#, and the program you are graduating from in the body of the email.
Our Responsibilities
Once you have submitted your final copy to the dissertation office, we do the following items:
- Verify that your committee has checked the dissertation/thesis for plagiarism and has accepted all changes.
- Verify that you have uploaded your final, complete, approved dissertation/thesis to ProQuest (instructions).
- Confirm that you have completed the JWL Submission Agreement Form (download).
- Make arrangements to have your dissertation printed at Lithotech and bound for university purposes* (this is charged to your student account).
- Sign the completion form and submit it to the records office for graduation.
