How to Submit a Nomination
At a student’s defence, examiners may choose to nominate a student’s thesis for a thesis prize. Nominations are collected annually, and committees review nominations to choose the best theses per program.
Select nominations may then be chosen to move forward to the Institutional level Thesis Prize competition (including Governor general, Pierre Laberge, and Graduate Studies Thesis Prize).
