Thesis Preparation Meeting

A mandatory thesis preparation discussion is held at the beginning of every semester to assist graduate students with the preparation of their theses. The exact date and time is emailed to all graduation applicants by Academic Affairs. All students who are required to submit a thesis for graduation must attend this meeting, which is open to all students, faculty, and staff. Graduate student theses must conform to the guidelines given in the latest Illinois Institute of Technology Graduate Thesis Manual.

Thesis Examination Appointments

All students are required to meet with the thesis examiner at least three times in their semester of graduation. These meetings should follow the schedule posted on the Academic Affairs website. The final meeting with the thesis examiner will review instructions for finalizing the thesis process.

In the final meeting, procedures for the G501 form will be discussed. The G501 form, approved by the thesis examiner, is required documentation. 

Appointments should be made by emailing aa@iit.edu.
