Submitting the BA thesis

The thesis supervisor informs the student about the possibility of uploading the thesis to ADT.
2. The names of the members of the Examination Board are entered in ADT by the Student Affairs Office.
3. In accordance with § 47 of the Rules of Study at the University of Warsaw, the student should submit the diploma thesis to ADT (ADT instructions) in the form of a PDF file at least 14 days before the planned date of the bachelor’s examination.
4. The student also submits to ADT the declarations which are listed in the instructions. Note! Both the diploma thesis and the required declarations must be submitted only in electronic form.

6. The thesis reviews by the supervisor and the reviewer must appear in ADT no later than 3 days before the planned date of the bachelor’s examination.
*Note, when filling in individual edit fields, you should be especially careful while pasting the finished text from a different word processor (e.g. Word) because the system does not read pasted special characters (e.g.: ['][„][”][-]). As a result, after saving changes, instead of special characters, incomprehensible strings of digits appear despite their correct display before the saving. To avoid this, you should fill in the edit fields manually, or at least, after pasting the finished text, replace all the special characters manually. (Despite their seemingly correct display).
