Dissertations – no mandatory review of defence drafts

The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies have discontinued the requirement (instituted some years ago) that a PhD dissertation draft must be checked (for formatting, etc.) by the G+PS thesis team before being submitted for transmission to the External Examiner. It is the responsibility of the student and supervisory committee to ensure that the defence draft of a dissertation be “well-presented and professional” prior to being submitted for defence.

For details on the procedure and requirements for submitting your dissertation for external examination, see

You will of course still need to have your dissertation verified by the thesis review team prior to filing the revised, approved dissertation in cIRcle
