Beginning Fall 2020:
- Students will be required to upload the Results, Approval, & Degree Recommendation (RAD) form to the Thesis Registration System. This form replaces both the signed Approval Page and the Supervisor Revision Memo.
- In addition, the Declaration of Committee (DoC) page will replace the unsigned Approval Page on page ii of a student’s capstone.
For Summer 2020 submissions:
- The Library will accept either the signed & unsigned Approval Page and Supervisor Revision memo OR the Results, Approval, & Degree Recommendation (RAD).
- For further assistance, please contact the Assistant for Theses: theses@sfu.ca.
