ETD Submitters Tips
We recommend that each day you work on your thesis or dissertation, you save your document under a brief name that ends with the current date. For example, "Ch One 24-Mar-2012", then tomorrow, "Ch One 25-Mar-2012." You will have a chronological archive of your work in case you make an inadvertent change or even lose the file on which you are currently working. It’s well worth the expense of buying removable media such as a flash drive, or saving your work to the cloud. It’s also a good idea to have copies in multiple places. It takes a bit more time, but sensible backup procedures can save you from a lot of heartbreak and many hours of lost time down the road.

Course Repeatability
It is important to be familiar with the repeatability limits of courses.
If a student exceeds the limit, the Registrar’s Office will not assign academic credit to the course. The Graduate School cannot support petitions for exceptions to this policy.

For Graduating Master (Plan A & Plan B) and Specialist Students: Degree Audit
Conducting a degree audit is critically important during the semester you intend to graduate. Checking at the start of the semester gives you a view of the requirements you have satisfied and those that are remaining.
If you discover a course that was wrongly assigned to a requirement, or not credited, you should bring this to the attention of your DGS (Director of Graduate Studies) or your program advisor. The program should contact the student affairs officer for the area/ discipline well in advance of the final examination to resolve. If there are requirements that have not been met, then you and your program will need to decide it there are substitutions that will fulfill that requirement.
