What do I do if I need help submitting my thesis or dissertation?

Your Graduate Studies website is the first place to go for any questions about deadlines, preparation (including delay of publication & formatting), and submission (including account authorization).

If the website does not answer your questions, UBC Vancouver students may contact Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (graduate.thesis@ubc.ca), while UBC Okanagan students may contact the College of Graduate Studies (gradtheses.ok@ubc.ca).

Visit the cIRcle FAQ for more answers to common questions.
