The word dissertation can at times be used to describe a treatise without relation to obtaining an academic degree. The term thesis is also used to refer to the general claim of an essay or similar work.

A submission of the thesis is the last [[formal]] requirement for most [[students]] after the defense. By the final deadline, the student must submit a complete copy of the thesis to the appropriate body within the accepting [[institution]], along with the appropriate forms, bearing the signatures of the primary supervisor, the examiners, and, in some cases, the head of the student's department. Other required forms may include [[library]] authorizations (giving the university library permission to make the thesis available as part of its collection) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright copyright] permissions (in the event that the student has incorporated copyrighted materials in the thesis). Many large scientific publishing houses (e.g. Taylor & Francis, Elsevier) use copyright agreements that allow the authors to incorporate their published articles into dissertations without separate authorization.

[[Failure]] to submit the thesis by the deadline may result in [[graduation]] (and granting of the degree) being [[delayed]]. At most U.S. institutions, there will also be various fees (for binding, microfilming, copyright registration, and the like), which must be paid before the degree will be granted.

Once all the paperwork is in order, copies of the thesis may be made available in one or more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_libraries university libraries].
