If you are a graduate of the University and wrote a thesis or dissertation while here, you can become part of Scholars' Mine. To do so, you must let us know that you are interested in contributing. Since you own copyright to your paper, you must give us permission to post the electronic version. You still retain copyright, you are not signing it over to us. If you are a current graduate student turning in your theses or dissertation for the first time, please click here.

1. You must fill out  this Form  noting that you want (and allow) us to put your work on Scholars' Mine. You can mail, email, or fax the completed form to us.
