For all classified theses, including Top Secret, the Thesis Processing Office will be your POC. The thesis processor requires the original hardcopy of the Signature Page, Release Form and Special Abstract for all classified theses. The Special Abstracts should also be submitted electronically to the Thesis Processor.

For Top Secret Theses/Reports, call or email the Thesis Processor to make an appointment in the SCIF to go over formatting and instructions.

For all other classified theses, as soon as you have the first couple of chapters written, you should make an appointment with the Thesis Processor, x2762 or x2273, to check thesis formatting. The final thesis, in PDF format, will be reviewed electronically via a CD you bring to the processor’s office. When your PDF final has been approved and you have obtained all the necessary signatures, please make an appointment with your processor. You will take two hard copies of your thesis and a CD with your final Word copy and PDF to the processor. The Thesis Processors will provide you with the CDs and paper for printing.

The Classified Thesis will be distributed via SIPRNet to your Distribution List. Your Special Abstract should have the SIPRNet email addresses. If email addresses are not available, then the Distribution List in your thesis should have the official mailing address of the recipient. A CD will be distributed.
