Submit as a PDF
The manuscript of your dissertation or thesis must be submitted to ProQuest Dissertation Publishing in
Adobe PDF format. When preparing your PDF, be sure to do the following:
Verify Proper Formatting
ProQuest Dissertation Publishing makes no changes to the formatting or content of submitted manuscripts. Therefore, the burden of how the manuscript looks when it is accessed or printed is entirely the responsibility of the author. ProQuest strongly recommends that individual authors take responsibility for reformatting the document into Adobe PDF, for checking the reformatted document for accuracy, and for submitting the PDF document to the graduate school or library for publication.
For additional information regarding formatting please use the link to the document "Preparing Manuscripts (including Supplemental Files)" located in the Additional Resources box to the right.
