The Preservation Unit serves as a drop-off point for university departments sending theses and dissertations for commercial binding.

Students should check with their departments to find out if they provide this option. If they do not, see the Thesis on Demand option below.

Department liaisons may contact us to coordinate a drop-off. Items must be dropped off the week before the scheduled pick up week. Items must be in boxes, with tickets for each item, with a completed shipment record form attached. Preservation will notify the designated departmental contact when materials are returned from the bindery. It is the responsibility of departments to pick up their items as soon as possible.

Students interested in a bound copy of their thesis or dissertation can visit Thesis on Demand to place an order.
