Thesis, Dissertation, and Project Submission Process: Overview

Overview

This guide provides instructions for submitting final projects, theses, and dissertations to Digital Commons, Gardner-Webb's institutional repository.  The submission information you provide here will be used to process the ordering of one or more bound copies.  The library will also submit dissertations from the Schools of Business, Education, and Divinity as well as Master's of Religion theses to ProQuest for publication in the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses collection.  

Where to begin?

On the Upload Instructions page, you will find written instructions to walk you through the submission process as well as a video walkthrough of the process.  When you are ready to submit your thesis or dissertation, you will go to the Discipline Selections page and select the appropriate degree type in order to proceed.  Finally, there is a FAQ page with answers to commonly asked questions.  The ETD Submission Process Flow Chart on this page provides you with an overview of the entire process.
