I bet you thought I was done posting about my thesis. Last Friday (6 days ago), I received this email after I had the pleasure of submitting my thesis electronically.
[Your supervisor] approved your e-thesis on September 23, 2011 at 11:51.
If your thesis has been accepted by all your supervisor(s), it has been sent to GPSO for processing.
If your thesis has been rejected, please make the changes requested by your supervisor(s) to your original document*, and create a new pdf, delete the file on the server, and upload the new file.
You can track the progress of your thesis on Minerva.
Hooray! It was good news to receive this email, and I tweeted about it immediately, of course.
Then, this morning, I received the following email.
Dear Benjamin, … We [at the philosophy department] have been told that you haven’t submitted your thesis electronically, and this is one of the graduation conditions. Can you do this immediately? The conditions have to be met by Tuesday, 4 October. Best wishes.
October 4th is on Tuesday (5 days from now). I’m pretty sure that my thesis has been submitted electronically. Here is my evidence:
- Minerva lists my thesis as being uploaded and approved
- I received the aforementioned email from the e-thesis computer
So I really don’t know what this fuss from the philosophy department is all about, but now I’m nervous that something’s messed up.
