ETD Guide:Students - Importance of satisfying local requirements
From DL Curriculum Project
Table of Contents: ETD Guide
When students prepare ETDs, they must be sure to undertake this effort in accordance with all
requirements. They should be aware and considerate of the interests, time, and abilities of the faculty
who advise and examine them. They must be sure that those in charge of the graduate program and
library, as applicable, are satisfied with their submission. Typically, there will be written or online
instructions, such as are available for Virginia Tech students (http://etd.vt.edu).
If their university does not accept ETDs, students can submit as an “independent”, according to rules and
procedures being developed by NDLTD. Instructions may be updated from time to time and will be
found at http://www.theses.org.
