Starting Fall 2022, all students must run a plagiarism check on their thesis or dissertation.
Log into Blackboard to access a course entitled “UTEP Graduate School SafeAssign Submission” to conduct the plagiarism check.
Share the results of the check with your committee and then advance to the Graduate School along with the defense form and signature page.

The format requirements remain relatively the same as for a traditional thesis or dissertation. In consultation with the Committee, the thesis or dissertation can consist of sections or chapters. Each section or chapter can have its own introduction, body, and references at the end of the section or chapter. Again, those are decisions to be made by the student and Committee.
Other general formatting requirements remain the same. This includes required pages such as the signature page, title page, abstract, table of contents, list of tables/figures, vita, etc. Please keep in mind that there must be full referencing for published papers and if applicable, written permission should be included for all copyrighted materials used in the thesis or dissertation.
Theses and dissertations from 2008-present are available in full-text in ScholarWorks@UTEP. The authors of works in this collection retain copyright; re-use of any work should be accompanied by proper attribution to the author; works should not be re-distributed without direct permission from the author. Embargoes on the distribution of dissertations/theses established upon their submission to the UTEP Graduate School are honored in this collection as well.
