College Designees
What Is a College Designee?
Your college designee is the person designated by your department to be the last person to sign your signature page. The name "college designee" is used here because departments have assigned this job to many different people: deans, directors, and department chairs, to name a few. Refer to the list below for the name of the college designee for your department. For more information on the electronic signature page, please see our Electronic Signature Page Procedure webpage.
The Thesis and Dissertation Office makes every effort to keep this list current. If the name listed for your department seems out of date, please contact your thesis committee chair to confirm whose name should be used.
