Thesis Submission Process

Daytona Beach master's degree students are required to submit an electronic copy of each thesis to be housed in ERAU Scholarly Commons. In addition, an abstract of each thesis is uploaded into ProQuest’s Dissertation and Theses ETD system.

Ph.D. candidates should contact the appropriate academic college’s graduate office to obtain dissertation submission instructions.

Worldwide students are not required to submit their GRPs or theses to the Hunt Library. However, anyone wishing to contribute works to Scholarly Commons, the university's institutional repository, can contact Debra Rodensky for additional information. This documentation pertains to the Hunt Library and Daytona Beach campus only.

Please use the online form to submit a PDF copy of your work and your submission form. PDF copies should include your completed signature page. You may submit this separately if you are unable to merge the files. Submission forms must be signed, but we are happy to accept electronic signatures. If you have any technical difficulties with the online form, you may email your documents to dbcollib@erau.edu.

There is no cost to submit your thesis electronically.

Embry-Riddle no longer requires a printed copy of your thesis. Any provision of bound copies to committee members or departments is a courtesy and not a part of graduation requirements. The official copy of record is the digital copy found in Scholarly Commons.

You are free to make your own bindery contacts and negotiate your own agreements, shipping arrangements, and methods of payment, however, we recommend the following: 

• Thesis On Demand: https://www.thesisondemand.com/
• PhD Bookbinding: https://phdbookbinding.com/
• GradWorks Online: https://gradworksonline.com/gradworks/#/

Any paper copies produced by the student would be for personal use and not considered "official."
