In order to make the deadline for the degree date, the following conditions must be met by the close of business on the stated deadline: 1) your departmental approval must have been received by the library's Dissertation Office; 2) you must have uploaded your final document to CUNY Academic Works; 3) you must have uploaded your final document to ProQuest (doctoral dissertations only). As long as these three conditions are met, you will make the deadline for the degree date. Please note that if you wait until the last day to upload your documents, the library will still take 2-3 business days to complete our review, and you will not receive official notification until the process is complete. Bear in mind that this is an online submission process, and may be subject to technological difficulties beyond our control. For this reason, we highly recommend submitting your dissertation/thesis/capstone at least 2-3 days before the deadline.
