Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

An ETD is an electronic thesis or dissertation document expressed in a form simultaneously suitable for machine archives and worldwide retrieval. It can be prepared using nearly any word processor or document preparation system and, if desired, the incorporation of relevant multimedia elements. ETDs eliminate the university-wide requirement to submit multiple copies on cotton bond paper, and they consume virtually no library shelf space. Furthermore, with the student’s approval, they can be available to anyone browsing the World Wide Web.

Beginning in Fall 2011, all NAU thesis and dissertation formatting and submission became electronic.  Please see information and guidelines below.
