- Sample dissertations cannot leave the Divinity Library, and must be consulted at a desk near to the Issue Desk.
- Students are reminded that submitting their own dissertation with a title resembling those in the sample collection are unacceptable.
- Students are reminded of the University policy on plagiarism.
- This list will be passed to the Chair of the Teaching Committee, if requested.
- You will need to bring a valid blue University card, and any dissertation will be issued to you for 3 hours at a time.
