Dissertation and thesis format reviews will now have the option to be offered remotely or in-person. The remote option was originally offered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the process showing great success, the Graduate School will now offer
the option for a remote format review as a standard option. Students will need to submit a complete draft of their document to
<a href="mailto:grad-schoolformatreview@osu.edu">grad-schoolformatreview@osu.edu</a> and the Graduation Services staff will follow-up with the student concerning feedback about the formatting. In addition to the remote option, students can also still bring
a complete paper draft of their dissertation/thesis document to the Graduate School in 247 University Hall for an in-person review. In-person reviews can be done on a walk-in basis from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

Another policy that is extending beyond the pandemic and is now considered standard is the platform option for final exams. Exams can be conducted on-campus, remotely, or a hybrid. Remote and hybrid exams should follow the guidelines for videoconferencing
as outlined in Appendix B of the <i>Graduate School Handbook</i>. The main point to remember is that all exam participants must be able to see and hear each other during the entire exam, so platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams are a good way to go.
PhD students will designate the platform for their exams on the respective Application for Candidacy and Application for Final Exam on Gradforms. Petitions are not required for videoconferencing.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
