Electronic Thesis / Dissertation Information
Preparing Your Electronic Thesis/Dissertation
Your ETD submission has specific requirements. For more information about preparing and submitting your ETD, please see the Required Page Order, ETD Accessibility Guidelines, Formatting Guidelines, Suggested ETD Timeline, and ETD FAQ pages.
ETD submission deadlines are posted on the Graduation Deadlines page. If you miss the ETD deadline for your desired graduation term, you will not be able to graduate that term, and you will have to submit another graduation application for the following term.
Important note: Make sure to provide your chair ample time to complete the review. We recommend you to upload your ETD quite in advance of the ETD submission deadline to allow your chair time for proper review. Your chair will need to review and submit the ETD to the Graduate College by the deadline date.
A guide to complete the Graduation Checklist and ETD submission can be found below. To view these documents, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free download.
