Program Completion - Project-Based Students

Carefully review the forms, guidelines and reference information regarding your culminating activity. It is critical for you to orient yourselves to the process. Refer to the School of Graduate Studies Policies and Procedures and the Graduate Studies Calendar and Course Catalogue for detailed information.

All students should review the School of Graduate Studies Policies & Procedures and Thesis/Project Submission Regulations to familiarize yourself with the formatting regulations. These resources will help you properly shape your thesis/project/capstone document to prepare it for submission.

Submission Regulations

Project route

If your program includes a Project Presentation, now it is time to begin. To learn more about how a project presentation is conducted and assessed, review the relevant sections in the School of Graduate Studies Policies & Procedures. Keep in mind that your program is not finished after your presentation as the next steps show.

You may receive minor or major revisions to your project paper that will need to be addressed and approved by your supervisor and graduate committee. These revisions need to be addressed before your Project supervisor is able to submit the Recommendation of the Award of the Degree form. This process may require multiple rounds of revisions, so make sure to address the revisions in a timely manner to make the process more efficient.

Recommendation of the Award of the Degree form

Once your thesis is revised and the corrections are approved, your supervisor will submit the Recommendation of the Award of the Degree upon completion of all degree requirements. It is advisable to confirm with your supervisor that the form has been submitted.

When your changes are approved:

  • Your supervisor (or one of your co-supervisors) will need to submit the Recommendation of the Award of the Degree form
  • You email the SGS an up-to-date CV and a current working copy of your ULethbridge transcript

Refer to the School of Graduate Studies Policies and Procedures for detailed information. Students who do not have final approval and have not completed all degree requirements will be required to register for the next term.

Questions? Contact us!

OPUS 

Submit the final version of your Project document to OPUS (Open ULethbridge Scholarship) after your Recommendation of the Award of the Degree form receives final decanal approval and you've submitted your up-to-date CV and current working copy of your ULethbridge transcripts, you will receive an email to your ULethbridge account (e.g., name@uleth.ca) indicating that you may register for an e-project account.

When your OPUS account is set you, you then submit the PDF copy of your Thesis via the e-thesis submission system. See the Thesis/Submission Regulations page for details.

Master of Nursing graduates must submit their project document to the Program Advisor in Health Sciences.
