Thesis Final Defense

Once students and committee schedule the final defense, the Office of Thesis & Dissertation Services should be notified. The Notification Form for Thesis Defense should be sent to OTDS@tamuc.edu at least one week (7 calendar days) prior to the date of the scheduled defense. To help you track your progress through the thesis process, we created the Thesis Checklist.
