| 156 | | Over the next 6 months, you need to enact the corrections suggested by your committee before resubmitting to the university. These corrections are sometimes as small as typos, sometimes as big as doing additional calculations or experiments. In general, you should be able to do this in a week or so of working, so I'd suggest getting this done as soon as possible after your defense date to get it out of the way. You'll also have to pay $85 to the University to submit, but you can do so electronically with a tex file, which is nice. You'll need to make sure you don't have any "holds" on your account from residual fees you have not yet paid (you can check this on SSOL). Lastly, you have to fill out some sort of NSF survey on your experiences as a graduate student. Once you do all of these things and resubmit your corrected thesis, you'll be marked as complete, and you'll be awarded your PhD imminently. Unfortunately, there are only three times of the year when you can actually be conferred a PhD: May, October and January, so your transcript won't reflect your PhD until after the next conferral date. The university/department can write a letter saying you've completed all the requirements though, if it is needed in order for you to take a job in the fall. |
