- Reviews dissertations and theses based on the current APU Style and Format Handbook for Dissertation and Thesis Publications (PDF) (complying with the 7th edition APA), Third edition, May 20221
- Approves manuscripts for publication
- Sends the publication approval to Registrar’s office for degree posting
- Delivers students’ dissertations and theses to ProQuest for publication

Footnotes
- While the APU Style and Format Handbook for Dissertation and Thesis Publications emphasizes APA convention, students’ departments determine which style manual is required for their discipline. The handbook identifies general format requirements that all dissertations and theses must adhere to. Within this general structure, each program specifies the style and format manuals, such as MLA, Chicago, Turabian, or APA, to be used by their students in dissertations and theses. ↵
