The Master's Thesis Publishing Process
When your manuscript and abstract are approved by your committee and dean as ready to publish, the University Libraries will send your thesis to ProQuest to be filmed, stored, and listed in a computerized database; the abstract will be printed in Master's Abstracts. A bound copy will also be shelved in the University Libraries. Please contact Sarah Pepper, Administrative Assistant, Room 210 in Zumberge Library, phone 616-331-2621, and make arrangements to bring or mail the following:
Complete ProQuest's Masters Thesis Agreement Form, with one copy of the title page and abstract attached to the form. You will find the form at the ProQuest website. See above for username and password. If there are two or more authors, a complete form for each author must be included. Please choose the "traditional publishing" option.
A check for $55.00 made out to ProQuest OR a completed “Copyright Registration Form” and a check for $110.00 made out to ProQuest.
Deliver one unbound original of the Master's thesis for the Library to send to ProQuest. This original will be returned to you when ProQuest returns it to the Library - in about four months.
Deliver one bound copy of the Master's thesis for the Library's Collection.
Theses are bound at the Copy Center on the Pew (Grand Rapids) campus, which is located in Building C. The Copy Center is open 8am through 5pm Monday through Friday.
Binding requirements are: velo vinyl black front and back cover, black strip, window in front cover, and plastic sheet behind it. In addition to the title page, a cover page with title, author, and date must be viewable through the plastic window (see Cover Sheet Set-Up Dimensions). The cost is $4.
You may also have your thesis printed by the Copy Center at a cost of 10 cents per page for black & white, and 25 cents per page for color.
A receipt will be issued upon receipt of properly formatted material. You may present it to your department's graduate office to verify compliance and completion of the requirement.
