Dear Students,

Students who want to write a thesis should discuss potential topics with an appropriate advisor, then submit a ''Request for Arranging a Thesis Supervisor'' to me by Friday, October 8, 2004, and a ''Proposal for Thesis'' by October 27, 2004.

1. Period for Arranging a Thesis Supervisor : Oct. 4 ~ Oct. 8
Period for Submitting a Thesis Proposal : Oct. 25 ~ Oct. 27

2. To be eligible to write a thesis, you must have:

- Completed or enrolled their 3rd term and 30 credit hours
- Have a grade point average equal to or higher than a B-(2.67)

3. Steps for Writing and Submitting a Thesis

1) Submit a ''Request for Arranging a Thesis Supervisor'' in your third term
2) If you want to change a thesis supervisor for any reason, you must submit a ''Request for Changing a Thesis Supervisor'', and also get approval from the Dean
3) Submit a''Proposal for Thesis'' under the supervision of your Thesis Supervisor
4) Students get advised for a certain period of time (1 term recommended) on their thesis by their thesis supervisor (commonly in their third and fourth term)
5) The format of the thesis must conform to the ''Guide to Writing a Thesis''
6) Upon completing your thesis, you must submit five copies of the thesis along with a ''Recommendation from the Thesis Supervisor for Thesis Evaluation''
7) The Thesis Supervisor recommends Thesis Evaluation Committee members with the approval of the Dean and therefore constitutes Thesis Evaluation Committee with more than three members by four weeks before the evaluation period begins
8) The Thesis Supervisor becomes the chairperson of the Thesis Evaluation Committee and proceeds with the evaluation
9) The decision of the Thesis Evaluation Committee is reached with the agreement of more than two thirds of the Committee members
10) The thesis supervisor submits ''Evaluation of the Thesis'' within one week of the end of the evaluation period.
