This guide is designed to help provide instructions on how to meet the Graduate College formatting requirements. The suggested use is to go straight across the top tabs and follow each step. Notice that step 2 is broken up based on degree type and step 4 is split based on different objects that may or may not be used in the body of the work. Questions should be directed to the Thesis & Dissertation Reviewer.
The top level page will show screenshots for a Windows computer. Hovering over the pages will provide the option to select formatting for a Mac.

Committee Appointment Form (find one applicable to degree type)
Committee appointment forms should be submitted as soon as a committee has been formed. They must be submitted before a work can be submitted for review.
Final Approval Form (find one applicable to degree type)
Once the student successfully defends their work, an approval form should be submitted. This is an electronic form that will workflow to the committee chair and any other required approvers. Students will not receive notification of approval until after the Graduate College completes the final check and remaining steps are completed. Students should submit their electronic copy to gradcollege@uni.edu as soon as this is submitted (not approved).
