Does the title page need to be signed?
The final electronic title page DOES NOT have to be signed, but should have all the signatures, of the committee, typed in the appropriate underlined spaces. A blank underlined space should be left for the Dean’s signature. When you are ready to submit your final thesis or dissertation in PDF format, you need to also submit a hardcopy of your title page on plain paper. This title page should be signed, by all committee members, and should be sent to the Graduate School.
