Binding and Distribution of Thesis or Dissertation

The original and two copies of the approved thesis or dissertation should be submitted to the appropriate college office for binding as early as possible, but no later than the deadline specified in the academic calendar. Students who fail to meet these deadlines may be required to refile applications for graduation for a subsequent semester.

The original and one copy of the thesis or dissertation are retained by the M. D. Anderson library for public access, and one copy goes to the student's major department. The college will send a copy of the Certification of Submission of Thesis/Dissertation form to the student's department chair. Binding fees for theses and dissertations vary. Graduate students should check with the dean of the college for specific procedures and requirements.
