Dissertation Office

Welcome

Dissertations are to be submitted to the Dissertation Office via email after the dissertation defense, and after the committee is satisfied with your final changes. Please have your program director send the 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:

  1. Verify that your committee has checked the dissertation for plagiarism
  2. Confirm that you have uploaded your dissertation to ProQuest/UMI (instructions below)
  3. Confirm that you have completed the JWL Submission Agreement Form (see below)
  4. Make arrangements to have your dissertation printed at Lithotech and bound for university purposes* (this is charged to your student account).
  5. Sign the completion form and submit it to the records office for graduation

 

*These copies are for the university (5 for Seminary PhD students, 4 for College of Education PhD students, 3 for all Master's theses), and this is charged to your student account. Personal copies are an additional cost. (Please let us know if you want to order personal copies.)
