Thesis Submission

The Thesis Reviewer will ensure that the thesis meets the required standards.

1. The student should bring to the FINAL appointment with the Thesis Reviewer:

• two copies of the completed Thesis Signature Page, both on 100% cotton paper,  both with original signatures of all committee members in black or dark blue ink.
• two official copies of the completed thesis, both on 100% cotton paper, with the following margins:

           Left margin:      1.5"

           Right margin:    1.25"

           Top margin:

                 - Page numbers:       1" FROM TOP; 1.25" FROM RIGHT EDGE

                 - Text:         1.25" minimum, 1.5" maximum

           Bottom margin: 1.25" minimum, 1.5" maximum

• the Master's Thesis Certification Form (signed by the thesis committee chair and the graduate program director/coordinator.)
• the thesis processing/binding fee ($65.00 check made out to "CSUSM Library.")

 

If the thesis is acceptable and the student has the processing/binding fee, the Reviewer will take the two copies of the thesis, the processing/binding fee and the Master's Thesis Certification Form.  A copy of the Master's Thesis Certification Form (with the Reviewer's signature) is given to the student as a receipt, certifying that the Library has accepted the submission of the thesis.

2. Once the Library has accepted the final copies of the Thesis, the Library will notify the Departmental Graduate Program Advisor/Coordinator that the student has completed all Library thesis requirements.
