Before You Submit Your Dissertation
- Make sure your dissertation is in pristine condition and that it follows the format requirements outlined in the Thesis & Dissertation Guide.
- Be sure that your committee chair has initiated the Ph.D. Dissertation Completion form.
- Save your thesis as a PDF file.
For Ed.D. Candidates Only: Use the template provided to you in the UWF Education Doctorate Canvas course.
- You will first submit your dissertation to the Doctoral Support and Quality Assurance Center (DSC).
- When you have polished your dissertation with the help of DSC, DSC will then submit your dissertation as a PDF file to the Graduate School via dissertations@uwf.edu.
- When DSC submits your dissertation to the Graduate School, your committee chairperson/advisor should also initiate the Ed.D. Dissertation Completion form.
- Email the Thesis/Dissertation Coordinator, Sarah Reid, at sreid@uwf.edu, and request an iThenticate account. Do not set up the account on your own. That will delay the process and subject you to private account fees. You should receive a confirmation email. Follow the instruction to complete your account.
- Upload your document to iThenticate.
- Share your report with the Thesis/Dissertation Coordinator.
