Submitting Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Additional Navigation

As a graduation requirement , graduate students are required to submit an electronic copy of the final version of their successfully defended thesis, dissertation, or scholarly project, referred to as an ETD, to the Jerry Falwell Library. These works will be published in Scholars Crossing , Liberty University’s institutional repository. Students also have the option to publish their work in ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global .

• Before submitting their work, students should review this checklist or this submission video tutorial to ensure that their work is ready for publication.
• The library does not edit or proofread students’ ETDs. Students should review their work for any final edits prior to submission. Changes to content require approval from the student’s committee chair before resubmitting to the library.
• Students should consult their department’s handbook for formatting guidelines and requirements.
• In order to provide identity protection, students must remove or block out all signatures and personal contact information (e.g., addresses, phone numbers, and emails).

• The student has secured permission from the copyright holder to publish the material as part of their ETD. ( Please note that permission to use is not the same as permission to publish .)
• The material is in the public domain or otherwise free of copyright restrictions.
• The student owns the copyright for the material.
• If revisions are required, the library review will take up to an additional 10 business days to respond with either acceptance or a requirement for additional revisions
• When students receive the email notifying them that their work has been accepted , they should forward it to their committee chair.
• Students should allow at least 30 days after acceptance for their work to be published in  Scholars Crossing .
• Exceptions to Liberty’s Theses and Dissertation Policy and the Jerry Falwell Library’s Scholars Crossing Policy are granted on a case-by-case basis by the presiding department or provost.

Bound Copies

If students would like a personal bound copy of their work or if their academic program requires one, they can submit a PDF version of their final, accepted work to the bindery .

• It is important that students do not submit their work to the bindery until after receiving a confirmation of acceptance from the library.
• Students should not send bound copies to the library.

Optional Submission to ProQuest

After receiving the acceptance email, the student has the option to submit his or her work to the ProQuest ETD Submission Site by creating an account on that page.

• This is not required for graduation but is offered as an option if the student would like his or her work published within ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global .
• The library does not recommend that students pay ProQuest to register for U.S. copyright or order bound copies through ProQuest.

Please contact [email protected] with any questions about the submission process.

Submission Checklist

Electronic theses & dissertations (etds).

• Formatting Requirements
• Submission Deadlines

Required Information

There are several descriptive fields that you must fill out in the submission form. Some of these fields will help other researchers find your thesis or dissertation and others will control when your thesis or dissertation will be made visible to the public.

Please ensure that all metadata, including your abstract, and your paper are finalized and adheres to the formatting requirements before submitting it.

Start this process after you have defended and made all final edits to your thesis or dissertation. Documents must be proofread and all errors corrected before beginning the submission process. Once published, changes cannot be made to your ETD.

• Carefully review the formatting requirements to make sure your document conforms to the requirements
• Contact [email protected] if you have any questions
• Save your document as a PDF/A file
• Login to the submission system using your JHED ID
• Enter the required descriptive fields
• Read and agree to the submission agreement
• Upload your PDF/A document
• Go to the fee payment site and pay your $60.00 fee
• If you receive an email asking for changes, follow the link and resubmit your corrected ETD
• If required, forward a copy of your approval email to your appropriate graduate office

PDF/A Export

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the Portable Document Format (PDF) specialized for the digital preservation of electronic documents. You need to save your dissertation as a PDF/A file and upload it as your official submission. For more information, see the Wikpedia article on the format.

Note for Mac users: that while you can save a Word for Windows document as a PDF/A (see below for instructions) you cannot do so directly from Word for Mac. If you are a Mac user, consider saving your Word document as a PDF/A using a Windows computer, such as at the library, or use Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Notes about PDF/A format

• you cannot include audio and video content; still images are fine
• you cannot include JavaScript or executable files
• fonts must be embedded

If you need to include audio, video, or other files, you can submit them as supplementary files. Contact us at [email protected] for more help with PDF/A or supplementary files.

Adobe Acrobat Pro

• Select “PDF Standards” in the Tools menu
• Select “Preflight” in the right hand column
• Select “PDF/A Compliance”
• Double-click “Convert to PDF/A-1b” then “Save”
• Review your document to ensure it appears as you expect it to

Word for Windows

• Select “File” then “Save as Adobe PDF”
• Make sure file type is “pdf files”
• Select “Options” and a box with “PDF Options” will open
• Check the “Create PDF/A” box, then select “OK” and “Save”
• Follow the instructions for using a LaTeX template
• The Library does not provide support for LaTeX

Fee Payment

The ETD submission fee is $60 and may be paid by credit card or by funds transfer from your department. The fee is due at the time of submission; payment verification is required for approval.

Pay by Credit Card – $60

IMPORTANT: If the card you are using is not your own (e.g., spouse or parent’s card), proceed with the payment at the site, but then email your name, your JHED ID, and the name of the credit card owner to [email protected] so we can link your submission with the payment.

Pay by Department Funds Transfer

NOTE: This option is available at departmental discretion. Request that the department administrator fill out the PDF form and submit it to [email protected] .

You have the option of making your ETD publicly available within a few months following degree conferral, or placing an embargo on your ETD. Embargoes temporarily delay publication of your ETD to JHU’s institutional repository, JScholarship .

Students choose to place embargoes on their work if their ETD forms part or all of a larger work that they plan to publish with a journal or publishing company, and that organization has a policy against publication of previously published work.

Note: Most publishing companies with these policies make exceptions for theses and dissertations, so be sure to read the documentation carefully before choosing to put an embargo on your ETD.

JScholarship

All ETDs are made available in the Library’s institutional repository, JScholarship, after any applicable embargo periods set by the student have expired.

If a student initially chooses to place an embargo on their ETD and later wishes to lift the embargo early, they may contact us in order to do so.

If a student initially chooses an embargo of less than the maximum 4 years allowed, and later wishes to extend the embargo before their ETD has been made publicly accessible on JScholarship, they may do so, so long as the embargo does not extend past 4 years from the original submission approval date. For instance, if a student submits their ETD in 2018 and places a 2 year embargo on it, they may later choose to extend the embargo for another 1-2 years, but may not extend the embargo past 2022.

Theses and Dissertations

Congrats on working towards your thesis or dissertation at UTA! The UTA Libraries Digital Publishing Librarian, Digital Publishing Specialist, and entire Open Partnerships & Services Department team are here to help you submit your documents, so they become part of the publicly accessible scholarly record. This important practice is part of the growing movement for open access scholarship around the world to ensure that EVERYONE has access to the results of scholarly research.

ETDs are openly published in UTA's institutional repository, called MavMatrix (formerly  UTA ResearchCommons ). The UTA institutional repository offers metrics about how many users are engaging with your ETD in a variety of ways! Make sure to check back after graduation to see what impact your thesis or dissertation is making in the world! For example, Amy Holmes’ dissertation from 2016 has nearly 6000 abstract views and almost 1000 downloads on our site alone!

Process and Deadlines to submit your approved Thesis or Dissertation to the ResearchCommons

We are currently migrating to a new and much improved platform for our institutional repository. For those submitting during the Summer 2024 semester , we have a different process than usual. Before any submission can be made, please send an email to  [email protected] identifying that you will be submitting a thesis or dissertation this semester and include your degree and department name . After that step, you will receive an email with instructions on when and how to submit to our new repository. 

***Please note: When you create an account on MavMatrix, please use an email address that you will continue to have access to after graduation. For example, don't use a UTA STAFF email address (ending in only uta.edu) unless you will continue your employment after graduation. Access to those emails terminates immediately upon graduation. Student email addresses (ending in mavs.uta.edu) should have longer access periods. We recommend using a personal, non-UTA email address to ensure continued access and communication.***

As part of this process, all students must agree to the Intellectual Property Statement and Non-Exclusive Copyright Release. This Non-Exclusive Copyright Release ensures that YOU RETAIN YOUR COPYRIGHT as author of your thesis or dissertation. Doctoral students must also complete the  Survey of Earned Doctorates  and submit via email to  [email protected] .

When submitting your thesis or dissertation, the date on the title page of your document should match your graduation month and year. The month must be listed as either:  May, August, or December  (e.g. May 2024). 

Deadlines to submit your approved Thesis or Dissertation to the Libraries ***Submitting prior to these deadlines will ensure enough time to complete required revisions.  PLEASE NOTE: If you wait to submit until just before or on the deadline,  processing of your submission and graduation milestone WILL BE DELAYED.

After your initial submission, be sure to check your email to receive either an acceptance of your submission or a request for required changes and resubmission.

If an extension is required, please complete the online  extension request form . If you have further questions, contact your advisor or the  Graduate School at  [email protected] .

An  embargo  is   a delayed release or temporary access restriction to the full-text PDF of your work. Common reasons to request an embargo include:

• If your thesis or dissertation material is to be published in a journal that requires no prior publication
• If you plan to file for a provisional patent relevant to the work published in your thesis or dissertation

Please note that you RETAIN your copyright as author of your thesis or dissertation when you sign the Non-Exclusive Copyright Release. This means that you are free to publish your work anywhere else you see fit without permission from UTA. Most journals and publishers today are aware that theses and dissertations are already published by universities in their institutional repository and/or must abide by mandates for federally funded research to openly publish outcomes and data.

Embargoed works are still visible as an entry in the UTA institutional repository with title, author, date, and abstract details. For those requesting an embargo for patent-filling reasons, please ensure that your abstract is written without revealing patent-relevant information or trade secrets.

If you require an embargo, they are requested when you submit your ETD to the Digital Publishing Team. You can add an embargo period of 6 months, one year, or two years. Two years is the maximum embargo time unless there are extenuating legal circumstances.

To request an embargo extension, consult either the Graduate School or the Office of Innovation and Commercialization (for patent/legal needs) to provide clear rationale as to why your work should be embargoed for longer than 2 years. That information can be provided to [email protected] .

Binding Personal Copies of Theses and Dissertations

**Effective January 1, 2024, UTA Libraries will no longer be providing bindery services for theses and dissertations. If your work has been deposited with ProQuest, you may order a print copy from them online . ProQuest may also be able to support printing of documents that have not been deposited with that service.

Still have questions? Check the FAQs!

FAQ: I just defended my thesis or dissertation. How do I submit my documents to fulfill the requirements of the Graduate School?

Answer: Please first review the information provided above. If you have not found information you seek, please contact [email protected] .

FAQ: How to access past theses and dissertations of UTA Students?

Answer: Older theses and dissertations are searchable in the library catalog here: https://uta.summon.serialssolutions.com . These are physically bound and available upon request.Newer theses and dissertations are only available in the UTA institutional repository. Browse to your department and refer to the theses and/or dissertations sections to find recent examples.

FAQ: I need to see examples of article-based dissertations.

Answer: For several years, all dissertations produced at UTA have been published openly in the UTA institutional repository . On the home page, use the search bar to search “article-based” or “article-based” AND a keyword from your discipline/topic to find an example closer to your field. For example, you could find “Smoking Cessation within the Federal Employee Population, an article-based dissertation by Brenda Ross Swilley from 2020 .

FAQ: Does the Library have a template for theses and dissertations?

Answer: The Library does not have any official templates for theses and dissertations. Each discipline has different requirements that they follow. Students need to contact their department for specific information about what their dissertations should and should not have. The Graduate School does have guidelines of elements that should be  included in its manuals . Please note: these are only to be used as a guide or starting point. As stated above, each department has specific guidelines that the student must follow. 

FAQ: Does the Library provide formatting and manual check services for theses and dissertations?

Answer: No, the Library does not provide these services. We encourage students to reach out the UTA Writing Center and/or the Graduate School for guidance on formatting and manual checks. There are Plagiarism Checkers freely available through services like Canvas, the Learning Management System used at UTA.

FAQ: I’m submitting my thesis or dissertation. Do I need to select an embargo?

Answer: Please refer to the information on embargoes offered above. Only select an embargo period if you want a delay in publication for your thesis or dissertation on the UTA institutional repository because you plan to publish in a venue that requires no prior publications or apply for a patent within two years. Most students select the “NONE” option to not request an embargo.

Please note that most academic publishers are now aware that high-level research institutions like UTA require all theses and dissertations to be made openly accessible via an institutional repository and therefore the stipulation that work cannot be published elsewhere does not apply if it was a thesis or dissertation in an institutional repository. If you would still like to embargo your work, please note that the embargo only applies to the PDF of your full text. The title, authorship, and abstract of your work will still be visible (per our policies with the Graduate School). You have the following embargo options:

Publication/Patent Hold 6 months  - The full text of this work will be held/restricted from worldwide access on the internet for six months from the semester/year of graduation to meet academic publisher restrictions or to allow time for publication.

Publication/Patent Hold 12 months  - The full text of this work will be held/restricted from worldwide access on the internet for twelve months from the semester/year of graduation to meet academic publisher restrictions or to allow time for publication.

Publication/Patent Hold 24 months  - The full text of this work will be held/restricted from worldwide access on the internet for twenty-four months from the semester/year of graduation to meet academic publisher restrictions or to allow time for publication.

FAQ: What is ORCID? Do I need an ORCID iD to submit my thesis or dissertation?

Answer: ORCID  is a “persistent digital identifier” that many researchers use to increase the visibility of their research across multiple platforms like Web of Science, publisher websites, and institutional websites. An ORCID is meant to serve as an overarching way to identify yourself as a researcher in the global scholarly community. When you create an ORCID, you receive a webpage listing all the publications you have published under your iD. It is free to sign up for one and add to your manuscript; however, it is  not required  to submit a thesis or dissertation.  

FAQ: I found errors in the thesis or dissertation I submitted to the institutional repository and I need to resubmit. How do I do that?

Answer: Congratulations on completing your thesis or dissertation! Do not submit a new ETD. For revisions, please contact [email protected] for information about changes.

FAQ: Does the library offer a service for binding of UTA theses or dissertations?

Answer: No. Effective January 1, 2024, UTA Libraries no longer provides this service due to a lack of requests.

Electronic thesis/dissertation (ETD) submission checklist

Before you can submit your thesis or dissertation, you must receive an e-mail from Libra  with the subject: “ Access to upload your approved thesis or dissertation to LIBRA ”. The e-mail is sent after your defense milestone has been updated by a Graduate Administrator and after Libra receives notice of it.

If you are a graduate student whose thesis is not a graduation requirement, or an undergraduate, you can still deposit your work in Libra. Please contact your advisor or graduate administrator and have them e-mail [email protected] .

Use the instructions below to successfully  submit your ETD  to Libra (LibraETD).

Before you submit

1. review copyright information.

Check out the Copyright Essentials for Scholarly Work page to get a better understanding of a few key copyright concepts. These will be important as you draft and submit your thesis or dissertation, both in understanding how and when you can use copyrighted third-party content in your own work, and in understanding your rights and opportunities to share your work as the author of your thesis or dissertation. Thinking about publishing your thesis/dissertation in part or whole, before or after graduation? Check out the Publisher Policy Checker from MIT Library. Use this resource to find publisher policies regarding inclusion of previously published articles in theses and dissertations, and policies on accepting journal submissions that first appeared in an author’s previously released thesis or dissertation.

2. Know your school’s instructions

Check with your school for information on the proper process, workflow, and timing for submitting your thesis or dissertation.

Your school will direct you on its process for submitting your work:

• Engineering School Graduation Procedure (MS Candidates)
• Engineering School Graduation Procedure (PhD Candidates)
• Arts & Sciences Thesis Submission (MA, MS, PhD)
• School of Education and Human Development, Doctoral Student Degree Completion (Ed.D. and Ph.D.)  or email  [email protected]
• School of Nursing (DNP)
• School of Medicine (Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program)
• Darden School of Business PhD Program  (Darden student access only, authentication required.)
• School of Architecture - Constructed Environment

3. Know your open license options

Libra lets you choose an open license when you post your work, and will prominently display the CC license you choose as part of the record for your work.

• CC-BY  (permitting free use with proper attribution)
• All rights reserved (no additional license for public reuse) – users who download your work from Libra must comply with ordinary copyright law and seek permission for uses that are not fair use or otherwise permitted by law

A CC-BY license helps readers find your work, and makes it more likely that it will be read and re-used. If you would like to use a more restrictive Creative Commons license, please contact a Libra administrator . Review the Creative Commons section of Copyright Essentials for Scholarly Work for further information.

4. Know your access and visibility options

All graduate students are required to discuss access options (including embargo) with their advisor or committee prior to submitting to Libra. To understand your options, please see the Access and Visibility Options page.

If you are thinking about requesting an embargo, do not complete your Libra submission until your request has been approved AND applied to your Libra record. 

To request an embargo, first consult with your thesis or dissertation committee, then contact your schools’ dean’s office for final approval.

5. Prepare an abstract and keywords

• An abstract is required for submission to Libra. It describes your work’s main focus to researchers interested in your topic. Using the abstract already included in your thesis or dissertation is fine. If your thesis does not already have an abstract, use a word processing or text editing program to create and save at least a paragraph describing your thesis to potential readers. Copy and paste your abstract into the submission form.
• Keywords are optional but encouraged. Select at least 2 to 3 keywords that best describe the content of your thesis or dissertation. Keywords can be taken from the abstract and/or title. Individual words and/or phrases may be used. Use keywords that will be easily recognized by others in your discipline.

6. Proofread

You may not delete dissertations and theses once they are deposited in Libra . Major changes or deletions require a dean’s approval.

Submit your work

7. upload to libra.

• Log in  to Libra (LibraETD) with your UVA NetBadge credentials.

Online Submission of Theses and Dissertations

All students must submit their Hofstra University Master’s Thesis or Doctoral Dissertation online through ProQuest’s ETD Administrator.  The Serials Office of Axinn Library is available to guide you through the submission process and assist you with any questions or problems you may have. 

Your thesis or dissertation must be completely finalized before submitting.  This means that all editing is completed, the manuscript has been accepted by the department, and all required signatures are included on the title page.  Specifics about formatting, title page requirement, and/or copyright page requirements (typically for dissertation students only) must be obtained from the particular department. The Serials Department of Axinn library does not have this information. 

Preparing your Manuscript for Online Submission

Once your thesis or dissertation is completely finalized, you will need to incorporate the signed title page into the manuscript and convert the entire thesis/dissertation into a PDF. Step-by-step instructions are here .

Online Submission

Once your manuscript has been converted into a PDF with the signed title page,

• Go to https://www.etdadmin.com/createaccount?siteId=19
• Complete the form to create a new student account

You will be guided through the steps of submitting your manuscript in PDF format for digital publishing. If you are unable to complete the process in one sitting, you can save your information at any time and continue your submission later.  FAQs are included throughout the site.  If you wish to consult the FAQs before beginning the process, you can do so here .

A few notes about the submission process:

• Copyright is optional for both theses and dissertations.  While there are advantages to registering your manuscript with the U.S. Copyright Office (such as the ability of the author to collect statutory damages in case of a successful infringement lawsuit), it is important to understand that a student's dissertation or thesis is protected by copyright as soon as is "fixed in a tangible medium of expression" such as on paper or saved electronically. More information about the advantages of registering with the U.S. Copyright Office is available in the resource " Copyright and Your Dissertation: Ownership, Fair Use, and Your Rights and Responsibilities " by Kenneth Crews.  Students wishing to register their thesis or dissertation for copyright can do so through the ETD system during submission, or they can submit directly at the U.S. Copyright Office .  There is a charge.  
• The library no longer binds print copies nor does it require that a microfilm copy be sent to us.  If you wish to have bound copies, you can order them directly from the ETD Administrator submission system or you can use a printing/binding service such as Staples or Office Depot.
• The ETD system defaults to having the dissertation and thesis metadata discoverable via Google and Google Scholar. With the move toward open access for scholarly materials, university libraries are making dissertation metadata available by default. If you would like to remove your ProQuest-provided metadata from Google and Google Scholar, you can do so by contacting ProQuest at 1-800-521-0600. 

Once your manuscript is submitted, the Serials Department of the Axinn Library will review your submission and contact you via email.  If you do not hear from us or have any questions about submitting your thesis or dissertation, feel free to contact Kristine Pries at 516-463-6439, [email protected] , or Sally Glasser at [email protected] . You can also contact ETD Technical Support at 877-408-5027.  And last but not least...

Congratulations on completing your thesis or dissertation!!

The documents are to be submitted through the Vireo Thesis & Dissertation Submission System at  https://uhcl-etd.tdl.org/ . Electronic copies of the work will be open access and globally available through the Neumann Library Institutional Repository at  https://uhcl-ir.tdl.org/uhcl-ir/ , hosted by the Texas Digital Library. Print theses and projects are not required and will not be accepted. Before submission, you are required to conform to all formatting requirements, embed fonts and convert your document to PDF, and scan and save the signed signature page. See the full Format & Submission Guidelines for Theses & Projects below. Preparing to Submit Your Thesis/Project Embed fonts & convert to PDF Scan & save signature page Register for an ORCID ID Delay of Publication (embargo) Copyright   You will need to embed your fonts inside your Microsoft Word document, and then convert the document to a PDF file (you will still be able to retain the Word file as a separate document). Do not submit your Word document in Vireo. Please use one of the below documents to help you complete this step. Name the document file with the following three elements in all capital letters, separated by a hyphen: year of graduation, semester of graduation, MASTERSTHESIS or MASTERSPROJECT, your last name. For instance: 2021-FALL-MASTERSTHESIS-WILLIAMS.pdf 2021-FALL- MASTERSPROJECT-WILLIAMS.pdf Embedding Fonts and Converting to PDF in Windows OS: Word 2013 Embedding Fonts and Converting to PDF in Mac OS (all versions) and Windows OS: Word 2003 and Word 2007 Created by Boston College Libraries You will need to scan one of your signature pages to be uploaded in Vireo along with your thesis/project. The signed signature page should be saved as a separate PDF from the dissertation PDF. The Neumann Library has scanners that are free to use, and we will be happy to help you with this step if needed. Name the signature page file with the following three elements in all capital letters, separated by a hyphen: year of graduation, semester of graduation, THESISSIGNATUREPAGE or PROJECTSIGNATUREPAGE, your last name. For instance: 2021-FALL-THESISSIGNATUREPAGE-WILLIAMS.pdf 2021-FALL-PROJECTSIGNATUREPAGE-WILLIAMS.pdf This page will be archived, but will not be publicly available to protect the signatures of the signing parties. The signature page with blank signature lines will be used in the publicly available version. This step is optional but highly encouraged. Register for an ORCID ID at  http://orcid.org/. Registration is free. ORCID provides a persistent numeric identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher. ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. Connect your ORCID ID to your thesis or dissertation so that users can easily locate your work in cases of: name ambiguity: other authors have the same or similar name as you inconsistent use of initials across publications (e.g., Katherine Patterson, K. Patterson, K.E. Patterson) use of different names across publications (e.g., maiden name or other name change) misspelling of name by publisher or indexing service All theses and projects will eventually be available to the public. At the time of submittal in Vireo, you have the option to release the manuscript immediately, or to embargo (delay) the full-text availability for a limited time for publishing/patenting purposes. You may embargo your work for either 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years. If you do not choose to embargo the work, it will be made available within a month after graduation.  Generally, in order to publish journal articles or books from your dissertation or thesis, the publisher will require significant revisions; for instance, the language may need to be condensed and modified to suit the journal's reader base, the format will need to conform to the publisher's specifications, and the peer reviewers may suggest rewriting or rethinking portions of the work. For these reasons, many publishers do not regard theses and dissertations as prior publications, and will publish articles and books based on those works without requiring the dissertation to be embargoed. Review the policies of publishers you intend to work with, and speak with your Committee Chair. You are the copyright owner of your thesis or dissertation, regardless of whether you choose to register it with the U.S. Copyright Office. As copyright owner, you have a bundle of rights, enumerated in the United States Copyright Law .  When submitting your thesis or dissertation, you are asked to agree to a license to grant the Texas Digital Library, UHCL, and your academic department "the non-exclusive rights to copy, display, perform, distribute and publish the content I submit to this repository...and to make the Work available in any format in perpetuity as part of a TDL, Institution or Department repository communication or distribution effort." Non-exclusive rights allow us to archive, preserve, and make your work available but do not give us ownership over your work. You retain copyright of your work, and can still exercise all of your rights under copyright. Because the license is non-exclusive, you still have the right to publish the work yourself, or transfer exclusive rights to another publisher. See this Copyright FAQ for general information about copyright: link will be provided Using materials copyrighted by others If you use copyrighted material in your dissertation beyond the extent covered by fair use, you must obtain the written permission of the copyright holder and upload the permission letter with your dissertation.  Using your previously publications in your ETD If you have already published portions of your dissertation as articles or book chapters and assigned copyright to the publisher, you must obtain copyright release to include that portion in your dissertation. That permission must be submitted with the dissertation as a supplemental document. An acknowledgement of any previous publication must also be included.

Stellenbosch University Library and Information Service - News from research support services Library Home Library Research Services A new face and place for theses/dissertations submissions “ SUNScholar is open to receive new nominations for the December 2024 graduation period .” That was the opening line for every graduation period.  This year is no different, except now it has a new name, face and place.  The submission of theses and dissertations for graduation has moved to SUNStudent Academia . The nomination for students to submit a thesis or dissertation for graduation now takes place on Thesis Management . Thesis Management sits under the tab for Examinations, yet it has nothing to do with examinations.  For each functionality, Examinations and Thesis Management , it is two totally different, and separate processes and therefore two different outcomes. During the process of Examinations , the thesis or dissertation has yet to be examined and reviewed.  In Thesis Management only the final revised thesis or dissertation needs to be uploaded.  This is the copy following examination, and after all corrections have been made.  This is also the copy that will be available on SUNScholar. The User Guide for Thesis Management is available here . For the most part, the workflow for Thesis management hasn’t changed. To summarise the process: The final revised document must be submitted in PDF format. Log onto SUNStudent Academia. Click on Examinations , then click Thesis Management . The supervisor/promoter or administrative staff nominates the candidate. The thesis/dissertation is uploaded by the supervisor/promoter or administrative staff. The supervisor/promoter or administrative staff approves the submission. The thesis/dissertation will be publicly accessible on SUNScholar following graduation. Due to the sensitive nature of security and ongoing enhancements to Thesis Management , the upload/submission of the final revised thesis or dissertation, must be done by the supervisor/promoter or administrative staff. The final date for the submission of theses or dissertations for the December 2024 graduation is 28 November 2024 . Changes in the process The Thesis Management function will remain open throughout the year. It is compulsory for all master’s and doctoral students to complete this process for graduation. Students will not be uploading any documents; this will be the responsibility of the nominator. The process of nomination, submission and approval/rejection will take place on the same screen/programme. The manual input of the student number will give a dropdown box of ALL postgraduate students within the faculty, ensure you ‘pick’ the correct student from the dropdown box. The manual input of the supervisor/promotor staff number will give a dropdown box of ALL supervisors/promotors within the faculty, ensure you ‘pick’ the correct supervisor/promotor from the dropdown box. Incorrect uploading of document(s) cannot be replaced after the submission process, so the process of nomination needs to be cancelled. Only a cumulative maximum of 250 MB can be uploaded per student. Exceeding this threshold requires the user to send the document(s) to [email protected]. Uploaded documents will remain visible to the staff member who did the nomination. The discretion and security of uploaded documents remain with the department. Thesis management will be ‘wiped’ clean after each graduation period. The embargo period only goes up to three years. For extensions or moving from embargo to open access and vice versa, an email must be sent to [email protected]   to manually make the changes.  These changes will not be reflected in Thesis Management. What remains The recommendations and look and feel of the thesis document remain the same.  Such as the new SU title page, declaration page(s), abstract(s) and typesetting.  See the library help page, Thesis/Dissertation submission for templates. Requesting Access to SUNStudent Access will only be granted to SU staff and with the approval of their line manager.  Any user requesting access must get their line manager’s approval for the request to be processed. Your access can be provisioned by following these steps: Please access the SUNStudent Service Desk here The tile marked “user access management” is the section that allows users to complete their user role access request For enquiries about theses/dissertations submissions, please contact Paulette Talliard or [email protected] .
