Submitting Your ETD to the University Graduate School |
Important:
The FIU ETD website is in the process of reorganization. Students planning to submit their Theses or Dissertations electronically should go to http://gradschool.fiu.edu/etd.html and follow the instructions for submitting to our new DigitalCommons website.Collect all the files you need to submit.
- Put all the files for your ETD in the same directory. All files should have a distinct name with an appropriate standard suffix.
- Name any other file according to the convention for its type (e.g., name other PDF files with the ".pdf" suffix, name GIFs with a ".gif" suffix, name JPEGs with the ".jpg" suffix, etc.).
- Link "etd.pdf" (title page, etc.) to all the other files using the hyperlink feature of Adobe Exchange.
- Make a text file of your abstract. Remember to separate paragraphs with ``<p>''.
Using Netscape 2.0 or better, go to the ETD Log in page. After logging in, fill out the submission form that will ask you for:
- Meta-data from the front matter of your ETD
- title
- author
- degree
- major
- committee members
- defense date
- abstract (paste this in from your text file!)
- Your email address
- Your committee chair's email address
- Special instructions for ETD processing
Make sure the information you provided is correct (including spelling!)
- Choose "Browse" to upload all your files, one at a time.
- Choose "Submit" to submit the form.
After you submit...
The University Graduate School will notify you and your committee chair by electronic mail that they have received your ETD.
If (for some reason) your ETD is rejected, you will be given instructions on how to correct it and resubmit.
When your ETD is accepted for placement on the library server, you will be notified.
