Final Report

Submitting your Final Report is a two-part submission process.

Part 1:

Upload your final MP to the DukeSpace digital archive. Your final MP must be approved by your MP advisor before uploading to DukeSpace. Your final MP should include an unsigned copy of your Executive Summary, following your cover sheet.

Please follow the deposit instructions from DukeSpace on how to log in and upload your final report.

For group MPs, only one DukeSpace submission is required.

Final paper submissions should be in PDF form. For cover sheet, final report, and executive summary formatting information, please visit our MP Milestones – Formatting Tips page.

Final MP examples are available in DukeSpace.

Post-submission review

After completing the final step, your submission will enter a queue for review by your program administrator (Abbey Sheehy). Your paper will be closed for further edits and will not be accessible in the public app during this review period, but it is still possible to view your submission by logging into DukeSpace and navigating to: https://dukespace.lib.duke.edu/mydspace. Should you see any changes that need to be made, contact your program administrator so that they can return your submission for edits. Similarly, if they notice anything that requires revision during their review process, they can return your submission with comments noting requested edits. Once an item has been approved and is publicly accessible, changes may only be made under exceptional circumstances; typographical and formatting errors do not qualify. When your submission has been reviewed and approved, you will receive a notification email with the permanent handle for your work in DukeSpace.

For questions or issues pertaining to the deposit process, contact repositoryhelp@duke.edu. For questions about the review process, please contact your program administrator. 

Because final MPs will be publicly available via search engines to persons outside of the Nicholas School and Duke, students must anticipate and address in advance any potential difficulties regarding proprietary or confidential information with both their internship adviser and their MP adviser.

Part 2:

Upload a copy of your Executive Summary to Student Services with your advisor’s signature.

Each MP group member must submit their own Executive Summary to Student Services.

The content of the summary is the same as the executive summary in the final report, but the format differs. The title of the project, the author’s name(s), and the date of the submission should be included in the heading. It may be typed 1.5 or single spaced. Please make sure your MP Advisor(s) provide a signature and date to show completion of the project at the bottom of your Executive Summary. The signed, separate executive summary must be submitted to Student Services by the deadline found on the 2S Timeline at a Glance or 3S Timeline at a Glance.
