Approving/Denying a Thesis Topic Proposal
Step 1: When a student submits a Thesis Topic Proposal (TTP) a link will be sent out to the Employer Primary Contact.
Step 2: Forward this email to the students direct supervisor. This supervisor is also known as the Employer Thesis Advisor. The student enters this information in the proposal if needed.
Step 3: Click on the link in the email and it will open the student’s Thesis Topic Proposal (TTP).
Step 4: At the bottom of the Thesis Topic Proposal (TTP) there is a drop down with two-options.
- Approve - If approving, select Approve and enter your initials and click save.
- Deny - If you are denying the proposal click Rejected enter in the Rejection Reason then your initials and click save.

Note: If the proposal is denied a notice will be sent to an Advisor who will work with the student. The student will then have to resubmit their Proposal.
Step 5: Once you have approved or rejected the proposal you will receive an email with a confirmation to keep in your records.
