Q. How do I archive my dissertation, Plan A Master Thesis or Plan B Masters Thesis into the University Digital Conservancy?
Answer
Dissertations and Plan A Masters Theses

If you have questions about this process, including embargo options, please contact the graduate school.
Plan B Masters Theses
Students may choose to deposit their Plan B masters thesis to the Digital Conservancy to make it broadly accessible to an international community of scholars via the web.Before doing so, there are issues to consider before depositing your work in the Digital Conservancy.
To submit your plan B thesis:
