At UDTS we understand that the path to graduation can be stressful, and we’re especially aware that the Format Review process can be overwhelming. With that in mind, we provide estimated response times for documents sent for the Format Review. Please note that these are estimates, not guarantees; delays can and will occur. The sooner we receive your documents for review, the sooner we can respond. We recommend submitting your documents early to avoid the end of semester rush. Note: Due to heavy volume of submissions towards the end of the semester, our response times will be longer than usual.
