Graduate Thesis and Dissertation

All NAU theses and dissertations are published electronically through ProQuest. The Office of Graduate & Professional Studies partners with Cline Library to make all NAU theses and dissertations accessible through our institutional repository.

Thesis & Dissertation Zero-Credit Format Courses

We are excited to announce the launch of our Electronic Thesis & Dissertation (ETD) Format Courses!

These canvas courses will replace format check email submissions to etd@nau.edu.

Please note: If needed, format check submissions will be accepted via email during this transition. Thank you!

**Students currently enrolled in 699 or 799 who plan to defend this semester will be required to complete this zero-credit course to fulfill their NAU format check requirement. Please keep an eye out as it will appear on your canvas dashboard by the end of October.

• This required course is for all master’s (thesis-track) and doctoral (dissertation) students planning to defend this Fall (2024) and subsequent semesters.
• If you are currently enrolled in 699 or 799, the 24-25 “Thesis Format Course” or “Dissertation Format Course” will appear on your Canvas dashboard. We understand that you may not plan to defend until a later semester. This course should only be completed in the semester that you plan to defend.

Electronic Thesis & Dissertation (ETD) Deadlines

*Please note that final submission deadlines are not flexible; students who upload their thesis or dissertation to ProQuest after 11:59pm MST on the term deadline will not be approved for the term conferral date.
