Upcoming Events & Important Dates
To ensure the safety of our students and editors, appointments with the editor will be replaced with preliminary reviews conducted by email. The process is as follows:
- After consulting the formatting guidelines on the Graduate School website, the student applies the formatting rules to the thesis or dissertation, as usual.
- The student emails an Adobe PDF of the document's correctly formatted front matter,
from title page through abstract; page 1 of the narrative text; page 1 of the bibliography/list
of references; samples of your subheading style and one example each of a table and
figure with title/caption.
- Dissertations: to cmckenzie@lsu.edu; Theses: to apaxto5@lsu.edu.
- Do not send the entire document
- The subject line should read: Request for Preliminary Review The editor will return the material with comments within a day or two
Students are always free to email specific formatting questions to the editors. The review is optional and is meant to catch obvious oversights, not to replace the guidelines. The reason that editors request specific pages for review is that these pages are most likely to contain formatting errors.

Please see the following reminders from Academic Services regarding graduation paperwork, thesis and dissertation paperwork, and general inquiries.
- Degree Candidate Check-out and Restrict Document will remain blank on student’s graduate milestones page. There is nothing that needs to be done for these slots, and the student should not worry that they are blank.
- Please make sure all forms are turned in by the department and NOT by the student. Student’s should send their paperwork to their department for the required signatures, and department should turn in the paperwork on behalf of the student.
- All required signatures should be on each form EXCEPT the Dean’s signature.
- In the ‘Degree Information’ section of the Application for Degree form, the ‘Degree Title’ should be listed as (M.S., M.A., PhD., etc.)
- Please check the calendar for the most updated dates and deadlines.
If there are any questions, please contact gradsvcs@lsu.edu
