Final Aquila Approval

Final Aquila approval is achieved once the Graduate School approves a thesis, dissertation, or doctoral project in Aquila. A document's format can be revised any number of times, so long as the document is approved before the final Aquila approval deadline. Only formatting changes can be made after the document approval form has been submitted - no content changes can be made after the Graduate School has received the document approval form. Unapproved changes can result in withdrawal of a document and deferral of graduation. Failure to meet the final Aquila approval deadline can result in deferral of graduation.
