|**Get Permission to Include Previously Published or Co-authored Material** \\ The dissertation guide states: "If you plan more than incidental use of your own previously published or co-authored material in your dissertation -- a practice common in the sciences and engineering and sometimes followed in other fields -- you must have prior permission from the Dean of the Graduate Division." | |**Get Permission to Include Previously Published or Co-authored Material** \\ The dissertation guide states: "If you plan more than incidental use of your own previously published or co-authored material in your dissertation -- a practice common in the sciences and engineering and sometimes followed in other fields -- you must have prior permission from the Dean of the Graduate Division." | ||

|**Give to Committee Members** \\ First, make sure your committee members will be in town around the time you want to submit your thesis (see below approval page signing; they have to sign this physically). Be sure to send an e-mail explaining to them: 1) What chapters are already published (in other words, chapters they do not have to read carefully), 2) What sort of comments would be most valuable on each chapter, and 3) THE DEADLINE for getting it back to you. Make the deadline appear at both the top and the bottom of the page in font at least twice as large as the rest of the letter. And don't forget to thank them profusely for their time. | 1 month | 1 week, but anything less than 2 weeks could be considered rude | | |**Give to Committee Members** \\ First, make sure your committee members will be in town around the time you want to submit your thesis (see below approval page signing; they have to sign this physically).

|**Approval Page Signing** \\ Faculty are notoriously bad about forgetting about deadlines for signing dissertations. Allow about 1 week extra before any absolute deadline (end of semester, start of new job, plane trip out of country). Lie to your committee about the deadline. If they do not believe you, lie to them again and say that you are leaving the country and that the deadline is sooner. It will take longer than it should. | |**Approval Page Signing** \\ Faculty are notoriously bad about forgetting about deadlines for signing dissertations.
