Project (only) Details

Projects are NOT submitted to the Pollak Library, but they are REQUIRED to be hard bound. You must ensure that a hard bound copy of your project is printed for the ENST office and that you have personally made special arrangements to have the Titan bookstore send a copy directly to the ENST office when it is ready. Please refer to the new Project Guidelines Manual, which is now available on the ENST website in PDF format. Most of your questions should be answered there. Project deadlines are typically set for the Friday just prior to the start of exam week, but always double check with the ENST Office for exact dates.

What is due in the ENST Office by the deadline?
• Notification of Completion form (form available on form page)
• Hard bound copy of project with approved and signed title page (or receipt produced as proof that the project has been submitted for binding).

Thesis (only) Details

Submit Thesis to Graduate Studies Office……………Check GSO website for deadline
Your Thesis must be entirely finished and ready to hand in by GSO deadline (usually at least one month prior to end of semester) so that the Graduate Studies Thesis Reader can review your thesis. The Thesis Reader will be looking for all of the formatting issues that are set out in the Thesis Manual that is published by the Grad Studies Office. This means that your thesis will need to have been reviewed and signed off by your advisor and both committee members in advance of this GSO deadline.

Deposit Thesis in Bookstore and ENST Office…………Check ENST Office for deadline
Once you have made all of the necessary adjustments to your thesis as required by the GSO Thesis Reader, you will need to submit your thesis to the Titan bookstore for binding. You must ensure that a hard bound copy of your thesis is also printed for the ENST office and that you have personally made special arrangements to have the bookstore send a copy directly to the ENST office when it is ready (deadline generally set for the last day of exam week, but confirm the precise date with the ENST office).

What is due for the ENST Office by the deadline?
• Notification of Completion form (form available on form page)
• Receipt that proves you have submitted your thesis for binding at the bookstore (expect the binding process to take at least one month) and confirmation that a copy will be sent to the ENST office upon completion of binding process.

List of Completed ENST Projects and Theses

Graduate Studies Website - http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/ From this Website you can download the forms that you will need to graduate and find useful information pertaining to graduate deadlines and guidelines.

Grad Checks It is required that students intending to graduate apply at least one semester prior to commencement. There is a fee involved. Students must be classified in order to apply for a Grad Check. Go to GSO website to confirm deadline for applying for graduation.

Grad Check Update If you have already submitted a Grad Check, but will not graduate when you intended, you will need to submit a Grad Update form to the Admissions Office before you will be able to register and maintain continuous enrollment. There is a fee required and it must be paid to the Cashier’s Office in University Hall. Forms can be found in the Graduate Studies Office (MH-103) or with Admissions and Records (LH-114). No faculty/advisor signatures are required, only the student’s, for this form.

GS-700 Students who have completed all Study Plan coursework (including enrollment in Project or Thesis) and are continuing work on their Project or Thesis must continue to enroll in Graduate Studies 700. Forms to enroll in GS-700 through adjunct enrollment are available or directly from the Graduate Studies Office (MH-103) or from the ENST on-line Forms page.

A student may enroll in GS 700 through University Extension for ONLY one semester if he or she is working on a project and for ONLY two semesters if he or she is working on a thesis. Once a student has met the GS-700 enrollment limit through Extended Education his or her registration status will be changed through Admissions and Records enabling enrollment during a regular CSUF registration window such as TITAN 1 or TITAN 2. Please note: before you can register, you must update your grad check to your new graduation date. Should you have difficulty registering contact the Associate Coordinator or the ENST Secretary.

Summer Graduation
Summer candidates must have their Grad Check current and apply for a “Petition for Summer Completion.” This form is available on-line, but can also be picked up at Graduate Studies (MH-103) and must be signed by the Project/Thesis advisor and then the Coordinator.
Special Note - International Students (only): If you wish to complete your graduate requirements in the summer, you must register for a special GS 700 course through Extended Education. Contact the ENST Associate Coordinator or the Graduate Studies Office for assistance.

Project Binding ALL students are required to submit a hard bound copy of their projects or theses to the ENST office upon completion. Be sure to pick up a copy of the Project Guidelines Manual from the Associate Coordinator, or download a copy off of the ENST website.
