The Thesis Office is housed in the School of Graduate Studies at 2145 Mackay Avenue. Students who are in the process of writing their thesis are encouraged to consult the Thesis Preparation Guide that outlines guidelines on thesis format as well as information pertaining to thesis defences and the final approval process.
Students must submit theses electronically for both first and final submissions. See ethesis for further information.
The Thesis Office produces an online database of all theses produced since 1978. It is searchable by convocation, degree, supervisor, thesis title key words or student. The Concordia Library Repository, Spectrum, now houses over 6000 electronic copies of theses produced from 1967 - 2003.
Students are encouraged to consult Guidelines for supervisor and Graduate Students.
Students wishing to graduate at a specific convocation should be aware that there are thesis submission deadlines that must be met to allow sufficient time for examiners to evaluate the thesis prior to defence.
There are specific forms related to thesis submission and examination. For easier access these have been separated: Forms for Faculty and Staff and Forms for Students.
Thesis defences are public events and students are encouraged to attend. Master defences are organized at the program level. Students should check with the graduate program assistant in their program for information on upcoming exams. Visit our doctoral exams section to obtain details on upocoming defences.
A thesis can be submitted at any time of the year. Our staff is available for consultation and will try to answer any questions.
