Students submitting a thesis or dissertation for the fall 2007 semester will be required to submit electronically. An electronic submission consists of the following

1. One Adobe Acrobat PDF file of the thesis/dissertation (including the ETD Approval Sheet)
2. The original files used to create the document (e.g., word processing, spreadsheet, multimedia software package files).
3. One paper approval sheet with original signatures on any brand of white, acid free paper.
4. Doctoral Students only: Doctoral forms including the Survey of Earned Doctorates, Abstract Form, and Doctoral Dissertation Agreement Form.

After you submit your ETD, your thesis/dissertation will be catalogued and placed in the University Libraries catalog approximately four weeks after the conferral of the graduate degree. At this time your ETD will be in the public domain.
