Submission Process

Submission Process, overview

The Thesis Processing Office is the central collection point and publisher for NPS theses, dissertations, capstones, MBA Professional Reports, and joint applied projects (hereafter referred to as “theses”). Each student is required to work with a thesis processor in his or her final quarter. We ensure that the thesis 1) meets NPS's format requirements, 2) meets high copyediting standards, 3) has all signatures, and 4) is properly marked with the faculty-designated DoD distribution statement. We also work to prevent the publication of plagiarized material, personally identifiable information (PII), unapproved human-subjects research, and nonpermissive copyrighted material. Theses are cataloged by the NPS library and DTIC.

During the thesis review, your thesis processor will focus on the "finishing touches" such as formatting, grammar, punctuation, and style. Examples of things we mark are inconsistent capitalization, citation use inconsistent with the declared citation style, images wider than the page margins, mismatching cross references, typos, inconsistent paragraph justification, spelling errors, and the like. Examples of the things we look for are provided here. The marked draft is then returned to the student, who must carry out the revisions globally in the thesis.

 

Submission Process, step by step, which type are you?

Submission guidelines

  • Classified papers: Click here if you are writing a classified thesis.
     
  • FOUO papers: Click here for marking guidance. For your recommended timeline, choose from a student type below.

  • Export-controlled papers: For your recommended timeline, choose from a student type below. The only difference in the process is that you will use Box instead of SharePoint for file sharing. Box FAQs // Box introduction

Your recommended timeline is earlier than the thesis timeline. To be nominated as a current-quarter graduate, you must receive your Dissertation Acceptance Letter by close of business on Friday the 10th week of the quarter (two weeks before graduation day). See "Due dates" below.

Use the step-by-step guide under "I am a resident student" below with your submission dates in mind.
