Download and Complete the Form: Locate and download the unified Approval Page/Form. Fill in the required information, such as thesis/dissertation/project title, your full name, and committee member details (name, academic rank, department – ensure accuracy based on the Graduate Catalogue).
Pre-Filled Form in Template: If you already completed the form within the template, simply copy and paste the information into a new, separate Word document (ensure the original formatting remains unchanged) for signature collection.
Additional Information for Committee Member Roles on Approval Page:
| Master | Advisor, Co-Advisor, and Member of Committee beside each name. |
| Project | The First Reader and Second Reader should be listed on the approval page. Advisors are mentioned only in the Acknowledgments section and not on the approval page. |
| Dissertation | Advisor, Co-Advisor, Chair of Committee, and Member of Committee beside each name |
Committee Member Signatures: Following your successful defense/presentation, obtain signatures from all committee members on the downloaded form. This can be done electronically or by hand.
Separate Submission of Signed Form: While the Approval Page/Form template may be included in your thesis document (page 2 Unnumbered), please note that the copy inside your thesis should not include any signatures. The final version submitted to ScholarWorks must remain unsigned, and the signed form should be submitted separately as a PDF document.
Advisor Signature on Behalf of Others: In instances where your advisor signs on behalf of one or more committee members, they must send a confirmation email to the Library Ms. Nina Ghannam (ng05@aub.edu.lb) with a copy to all relevant committee members.
Note: The final, completed and signed form must be subsequently submitted as a PDF document.
