If you do not want your doctoral dissertation to be sent to UMI Dissertations Publishing, you must submit a written statement, endorsed by your dissertation chair, to the Dean of the Graduate Division explaining the reasons for your request. If the Dean approves your request, two copies on an approved brand of paper and the Library Permission Form will be required. Master's theses will be sent to the Library. An original and a copy, both on an approved brand of paper, are required. Refer to the materials section for paper specifications.
Some departments require additional copies of dissertations.
Some departments will not certify completion of requirements until their copy is received. You should check with your graduate assistant. First, you need access to a PostScript printer that has the correct printer drivers installed. Open the document to be converted in a word processing application. You will need to embed your fonts both in the original document and in the converted PDF file.
