Dissertation and Thesis Submission

Step 11: Ordering Personal Copies

Ordering Through ETD

There is a tab to order copies during the submission process. See the section below if you choose to order copies at a later date.

Order your copies and confirm the shipping address. NOTE: You will need to confirm with your advisor whether or not you will need to order a physical copy for your school or department. The library will not be keeping physical copies of dissertations or theses due to space concerns. Library-related copies will be going to the DARIUS repository.

Each volume is rendered with respect for the scholarly research, featuring:

  • Brilliant white 32 lb. paper stock: acid-free and archival-grade, this photographic-quality stock is brighter and more opaque for better ink contrast and readability.
  • Any color graphics included in the digital copy of the thesis received by ProQuest can now be reproduced in color—at no extra charge! Photographs, charts, and other illustrations are printed as faithfully as they were provided electronically.
  • Durable hardbound copies are 8½”x11” with elegant black covers made from 2.5 mm-thick board covered in washable linen. Titles are embossed in gold foil along the spine of these handcrafted bindings and include generous margins.

Authors, please note:

  • Please inform us of any address change
  • All prices are subject to change

 

Can I Order Copies of My Dissertation Later?

Yes, you can! ProQuest says the following:

If they decline to order during the initial submission process, that option will no longer be available on the ETD site.

We do honor the author-pricing at any time after publishing has been completed. The confirmation email we send to students when their dissertation has been published will include a custom ordering link that will give them the discounted prices. We can also generate the ordering link at any time after publishing is completed upon request.

Since printing is the final step of the process, if they order shortly after publishing is completed, they will get their books at about the same time as if they had pre-ordered.

Here is a list of the pricing that includes both the author rates and the standard rates:
