Forms you must turn in with your dissertation:

1. Departmental Approval Form: The required approval form must be signed in ink (no stamps; no faxes; no photocopies) by your department chair or school dean, and submitted at the same time as the required 2 final copies of the dissertation.
   
   
2. Doctoral Dissertation Agreement Form: The required agreement form must be completed and signed in ink (no faxes; no photocopies). The form is sent to ProQuest Information and Learning/UMI along with the required abstract and title page, one copy of your dissertation (which will be returned to your department after microfilming), and any other material you choose to include for PQIL/UMI. (N.B. Do not include personal checks with material for PQIL/UMI.) The pamphlet Publishing Your Dissertation, from PQIL/UMI, contains the agreement form plus some explanatory material. We do not have a digital version of this pamphlet, but it is available in the Dissertation Office.
   N.B. We are waiting for a current pdf from UMI.
   
   
3. Library Form: The required library form helps the Library catalog your dissertation correctly. One copy of your dissertation becomes part of the Library's circulating collection. The required abstract and title page expedite processing in the Dissertation Office.
   
   
4. Survey of Earned Doctorates: The required survey must be signed in ink (no faxes; no photocopies). This form from NORC gathers data that serve policymakers at the federal, state and local levels. Data from the Survey are available from the National Science Foundation, and a presentation of the survey results are available from the National Opinion Research Center. See the survey brochure for additional information.
