Theses and Dissertations

All UCI graduate students submit their completed theses and dissertations to Special Collections and Archives.  Students are responsible for submitting a manuscript that adheres to our manual.  Degree candidates should carefully review all instructions and guidance on this website well in advance of the relevant submission deadline.

Special Collections and Archives staff review each manuscript and accept it upon approval.  We also validate all necessary forms and submit them to the Office of Graduate Studies.  Provided a student has met all other requirements, this is the final step prior to being awarded the graduate degree.
