Electronic Submission of Dissertation (EdD Students only)
All EdD students must submit their dissertations electronically for microfilming in addition to having copies bound, as it is part of their degree requirements.
Steps for Electronic Submission
1. Create a PDF of your work, if you have not already done so.
- Save all your work into one file, and embed your fonts, and/or make sure you have used TruType fonts, prior to conversion. You may also wish to review the PDF Questions section on the submission website, to be sure your pre-PDF fonts and formats will convert correctly.
- If you have additional items which cannot be incorporated into the main file, you will be able to upload them as supplemental files.
- Students do not need to upload the department approval signature page; it is preferred that students refrain from uploading this page.
- There is a Word to PDF Converter on the submission website. (You may be asked to create an account, prior to being able to use the PDF converter).
