Dissertation Office

The Dissertation Office is located on the first floor of the Regenstein Library within the Center for Digital Scholarship. We will close at noon on Wednesday, November 27, and reopen at 9:00am on Monday, December 2, after the Thanksgiving Break.

Thanksgiving Break, November 25-November 29:

• Wait to hear from the Dissertation Office as we audit the Autumn Quarter dissertations. We try to review dissertations in the order they are submitted, usually within two weeks.

The Dissertation Office provides information on the University's dissertation policies. We help doctoral students understand dissertation formatting and publication requirements, and we assist with the submission process. We support graduate program administrators as they manage dissertation submissions and departmental approval of dissertations, and we audit completed dissertation submissions to ensure they meet University requirements. We also coordinate dissertation publishing and embargoes with ProQuest and with Knowledge@UChicago.
