# Student Checkout Requirements

In order to graduate, the following materials must submitted in addition to the thesis:

* [Master’s thesis evaluation report](https://learn.mssm.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContentEditable.jsp?content_id=_285307_1\&course_id=_779_1): The thesis research mentor must complete and sign this form, and the student should then upload to Blackboard.
* PDF of approval pages: Create a title page, copyright page and approval page, according to the templates provided in the [Depositing your Master’s Thesis Guide](https://learn.mssm.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContentEditable.jsp?content_id=_285307_1\&course_id=_779_1). Obtain your thesis research mentor’s signature on the approval page. Upload all three pages (including the signed approval page) as a single document to Blackboard. The Program Manager will obtain the Program Director’s signature for your approval form, and email to you the signed pages.
* Final formatted version of thesis: Add the title, copyright and signed approval pages to your thesis, which should be formatted according to the [Depositing your Master’s Thesis Guide](https://learn.mssm.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContentEditable.jsp?content_id=_285307_1\&course_id=_779_1). Upload this final document to both ProQuest and Blackboard.
* Student check-out form: Complete the online [Student Checkout](https://mountsinai.formstack.com/workflows/gs_checkout_form) form. Once submitted, the bursar, library, registrar and CLR program will provide electronic signatures clearing you for graduation.
* Graduating student exit survey: Upon completion of the Student Checkout form, you will receive a graduating student exit survey via email, which you are required to complete.
