FORMAT REVIEW
All
theses and dissertations must be submitted to the Graduate School for format
review 6 weeks before the electronic submission deadline (4 weeks in summer semester);
see current deadline calendar for exact dates. Submit an
unbound hard copy draft (can be double-sided, on plain paper) to
the Graduate School Office, 1380 Lawrence St., Suite 1251. Contact the
office at 303-315-2183 for further information.
You will
be contacted when format review is completed, and receive a list of format

content revisions prior to defense and submitting the final copy electronically.
No additional hard copies are needed.
