Note: There is considerable variation in this process within and between departments;
therefore, the above steps may be somewhat different for some candidates. In
some cases, for example, the committee may prefer to receive the dissertation
chapter-by-chapter. In other cases, the dissertation may be submitted to all
members of the committee at one time rather than first going to the
Dissertation Chair. In some programs, the Chair reviews all drafts before the
Dissertation Examining Committee receives the Dissertation.
