Certificate of Approval Packet
Packet Overview
The ETD Office requires all graduating students to complete a Certificate of Approval Packet.
This packet includes:
- the certificate of approval form, with signatures from your committee members,
- the first page of the plagiarism check, and
- the certificate of completion of the SED survey (for Doctoral Students only).
Your complete packet must be submitted to this Microsoft Form no later than the due date provided by the Office of Graduate Studies for thesis and dissertation students. Use the side-navigation for more information on each part of the Certificate of Approval Packet.
***Please note, the Microsoft Form submission link will only work if you are currently logged into your USF Microsoft account.
Do not forget!
In addition to submitting your Certificate of Approval Packet, you will need to submit your manuscript to ProQuest. This is where the formatting review process begins.
