Doctoral Deposit Fee Increase
Doctoral students depositing dissertations in the Graduate College Thesis Office must pay a deposit fee. This fee will increase to $95 and will apply to all doctoral dissertations submitted for the December 2008 deposit period. The deposit fee is charged to the student’s account upon completion of deposit.
The current $90 deposit fee remains in effect for doctoral dissertations submitted for the October 2008 deposit period, and there is no change to the master’s thesis deposit fee.
All graduate students completing theses at the University of Illinois must deposit their theses in the Graduate College Thesis Office. Our office assures that all requirements for deposit have been met and that your thesis meets the quality standards established by the Graduate College Executive Committee.
