Responsibilities of the Dissertation Team

Each member of the dissertation team has specific responsibilities. The dissertation committee, comprised of a chair and committee member, ensures the dissertation is doable and that the topic is aligned with the degree (DSCS). They provide feedback related to content as specified in the templates (available in DSCS Lounge). The University Reviewer offers a fresh set of eyes and confirms that the milestones meet the university requirements.

While the dissertation committee is collectively responsible for supporting the student, the chair holds the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the dissertation meets the University’s standards
