Instructions for students ready to submit their thesis/dissertation for evaluation

To submit a thesis/dissertation to the College of Graduate Studies, the procedure is as follows:

  1. The program director or whoever acts on his behalf requests a Review System account for the student by submitting an email to

  • The student’s name
  • The student’s KU ID number
  • The student’s KU email

    • A colored soft copy (PDF) of the re-enrollment form completed (typed) and signed by the student and program director with a handwritten blue signature.

Furthermore, the supervisor and co-supervisor must refrain from signing the AC4TR.
