Departmental Format Approval Process

The TDA should be submitted through the Graduate College Form Drop-off site. Do not submit the TDA until the form has received both committee and departmental approval.
Note: Only individuals listed as an active Graduate Contact, Secondary Graduate Contact, and Director of Graduate Studies in the Graduate College Roles & Access Manager will be able to submit this form.
