How to submit
You must submit your thesis online through ProQuest. Make sure you read all of the submission instructions before submitting.
*Thesis must be content complete, committee approved, and publication ready before submission.
Once at the site, select “Submit my dissertation/thesis” and follow the instructions. When you create your account, enter the email address you use most. Once you’ve completed the final step, you will receive an email confirming your submission. You’ll learn by email whether your thesis requires any formatting changes within about a week. If so, the email you receive will contain instructions for making these changes.
A thesis embargo of up to two years is permitted at the time of submission. Once the two years are nearly over, any extensions must be approved by the Associate Dean of the University Graduate School. A request for an extension should be submitted, in writing, to the Assistant Graduate Recorder in the Indiana University Graduate School Bloomington and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The need for a longer embargo needs to be well-justified, and the written request should include a detailed rationale.
You must also submit the Defense Signature Collection edoc, which may be found at the .
