ETD Guidelines: After Duquesne

After Duquesne

Can I order a hard copy of my dissertation/thesis if I didn’t during my submission process?

Yes. You can order one by contacting ProQuest directly. Students may order hard copies at any time by contacting ProQuest directly. They will receive reduced pricing since they are the author. Please refer students to the ETD Coordinator for ordering information.

When will my hard copy arrive?

Although results may vary, your hard copy should generally arrive 4-6 weeks from the time that your ETD is released to ProQuest.  Note that ProQuest cannot print your ETD until it is released to them, and that according to the agreement between yourself and Duquesne University represented by the ETD Approval Form, your ETD cannot be released until your embargo has expired; thus, if you are opting both for a 1-year embargo and to order a hard copy from ProQuest, the printing process for your document will not begin until a year after your date of graduation.

How can I view my ETD after it has been approved?

  1. From Duquesne: Duquesne Scholarship Collection
  2. Other institutions: ProQuest Theses & Dissertations

Is there anything else I need to do once my ETD has received final approval?

As far as ETDs are concerned, no, once you have received confirmation that your ETD was accepted and the registrars were notified. However, you may have other holds on your graduation even after submitting your ETD. If in doubt, contact the registrar directly.
