Submitting Manuscripts Via ETD
ETD Submission Deadline
You must abide by the Graduate School initial deadline for manuscript draft submission. After evaluation, any corrections and/or missing materials will be due no later than 4:45 p.m.. on the day of the final deadline.
Before Submission
At this point, your manuscript should already comply with the Graduate School’s latest guidelines. Consider the following as you prepare for submission:
- Submit manuscript as a single PDF file
- Name the file: Lastname_Firstname.pdf (e.g., Smith_John.pdf)
- Do not apply security settings to the PDF file
- Do not embed multimedia in the PDF file
If Ready to Submit Through ETD
- Create a student account and log into ETD
- Be sure to use an email address you will be checking regularly!
- Click on the "Submit my dissertation/thesis" link
- Submit any other applicable and supplemental multimedia appendix files in the appropriate upload section
After Submission
Watch the e-mail account you during the submission process. You will receive emails from the Graduate School reviewer alerting you of any required corrections. Your thesis will be considered complete only after you have made all required changes.
Once your manuscript is approved by the Graduate School, the Graduate Records office will ensure you have met all graduation requirements before giving final approval.
ETD Processing Fees
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically; there is no paper option. You will be charged a one-time $95 processing fee by ProQuest/UMI after the entire submission process is completed.
