The selected works were intended to provide examples of work for students. Some examples were kept in-house, used for teaching purposes, and not available within the library.  Library print holdings were usually kept for up to 10 years and reviewed for relevance.

To search for print theses and masters dissertations use UR Library Search to search for a title or topic and filter by Format > Book > Theses, Dissertation.

☐  Pass your defence

☐  After revisions have been approved by your committee, complete the (1) Submission Cover Sheet and (2) Masters Thesis Approval forms and submit them to [email protected] for review before submission to G+PS

☐  Once the 2 forms above are submitted (you will be cc’d in the email to G+PS), set up your cIRcle account so you can upload your thesis to the cIRcle database. You will be notified when your account has been activated and you are able to submit your thesis, as well as when your thesis has been accepted and your program closed.

Remember to apply for graduation ! Graduation happens in May and November of each year. You can apply for graduation even if you haven’t defended yet (but you won’t be approved to graduate without having completed all your requirements so check the Deadlines page for when your program requirements should be completed for a specific graduate ceremony).
