Thesis and Dissertation Formatting Workshop

  • Tuesday, October 22, 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m., Leigh Hall Room 414
  • Wednesday, October 23, 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., Leigh Hall Room 414

The workshop consists of a review of the university’s publishing and formatting guidelines, as well as OhioLink’s requirement for Digital Accessibility Standards. Applying these guidelines to your work is required prior to uploading your manuscript to OhioLink, and attending the workshop should help you move through the formatting and revision process more smoothly, hopefully with fewer revisions needed.

Save your spot by emailing the graduate school at gradsch@uakron.edu putting FORMAT OCT in the subject line. Seating is limited.

  • Friday, October 25, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Be ready for graduation and beyond by meeting with representatives from the Graduate School, the University Registrar, Student Accounts, Career Services, and Alumni.
