Theses and Dissertations

Preliminary Draft Review

The deadline to submit your thesis or dissertation to the Libraries for a preliminary draft review:

• November 20th, 2025 - for virtual meetings via Zoom
• December 1st, 2025 - for review via email

ProQuest Submission

The firm deadline to submit your thesis or dissertation to ProQuest is December 2nd, 2025 by noon.

UTSA Libraries is pleased to partner with the Graduate School to provide graduate students with draft reviews of their theses and dissertations to help prepare them for successful submission to ProQuest and Runner Research Press.

We provide feedback on formatting only.  It does not include a review of content or citation formats as we don't read your thesis or dissertation.  

Before submitting your thesis or dissertation for review, please consult the Graduate School's guidelines concerning formatting and deadlines:

You have two options for the preliminary draft review:

• Zoom appointment to review your document (schedule via the Thesis and Dissertation Appointment Calendar)
• Email only review (send your document via email)

During the Zoom appointment, the library staff member will:

• Review your document's formatting and inform you of any revisions needed to meet the Graduate School's template standards
• Provide a brief overview of the final submission process to ProQuest
• Answer any general questions you have about the formatting and submission process

If you have any questions about the preliminary review process, UTSA Libraries Thesis and Dissertation Review Team is here to help.
