Disclaimer: Note that the UW Libraries are not involved in the publication process. We are providing this information because we often receive questions on how to publish. The information in this guide is meant to direct you to the appropriate UW resources, to complete the publication of your graduate research as a thesis or dissertation.
Please contact your major professor for specific requirements and procedures for completing your graduate degree.
The University Libraries and the University of Wyoming no longer require a printed and bound copy of the thesis or dissertation to be provided to the library. This policy was enacted by the university in 2007. The UW Libraries will not accept any printed copies of your work. All work is stored digitally.
