Thesis & Dissertation

Welcome to the Northern Illinois University Graduate School Thesis and Dissertation Web pages. These pages are designed to help students find information and guidelines regarding research paper presentation and layout. Check back often as more online resources become available.

The Thesis and Dissertation Office is pleased to announce a new and improved electronic submission process for Summer 2008. We regret that during the transition this spring the Thesis Office will NOT be able to accept electronic submissions for May 2008 graduation after March 3. All candidates for May 2008 graduation must submit a paper post-defense copy for review as per the Graduate School Manual for Theses and Dissertations. Updated guidelines and links to the new submission site will be available on this page in early May 2008.

Procedures and standards for theses and dissertations submitted to the Northern Illinois Graduate School are found in The Graduate School Manual for Thesis and Dissertations, and this manual should be consulted by students if a thesis or dissertation is a requirement of their graduate degree program. The manual is available for download in Adobe PDF format.
