Is your thesis ready to submit?

Is this the FINAL version of your thesis?

  • Be sure you have made all edits and corrections before uploading. You are able to submit a new version of the thesis, but this should be done in the advisor approval steps.

Does your thesis have a title page?

  • See the tab to the left for a sample title page showing all the information we need.

Has your file been saved as a PDF or PDF/A?

  • PDF and PDF/A are the preferred formats for uploaded final thesis files.

Have you saved your file with an appropriate file name?

  • Use this naming convention - DepartmentName_LastName_ThesisTitle.pdf (For example - Chemistry_Floyd_TheTitleOfMyThesisGoesHere).

Edit your submission

Under certain circumstances you are able to edit your thesis submission. 

Once submitted to digitalCC, you are unable to edit your submission in the form while waiting for it to be approved and published. Once published, you can email us at digitalarchives@coloradocollege.edu or Rebecca Floyd at rfloyd@coloradocollege.edu, and please copy your advisor so we know all revisions are approved. Without approval from your advisor, we cannot upload a revised document to the record.
