Thesis Preparation and Materials

• The format of your thesis or dissertation must follow the guidelines found in the Drexel University Thesis Manual linked below and maintained by the Office of Graduate Studies, in addition to any guidelines set by your academic department. Your advisor is responsible for reviewing and approving both the content and the formatting of your thesis or dissertation. Their final approval is noted through the E-Forms process outlined above. Please note that ProQuest provides guidance on preparing your manuscript for submission, including guidelines on formatting, which is also referenced in the manual. Those requesting a printed copy may need to consider additional formatting for best results. Questions? Contact libthesis@drexel.edu.
• The official Drexel University logo must be used for the title page.
• In preparation to submit, we recommend setting up an account in ProQuest's ETD Administrator tool. You should also review the information and FAQs on the Theses, Dissertations, and Projects page of the Drexel University Libraries' website, which includes more information and options for embargo, copyright, and binding.
