Thesis Binding

How to Submit Your Thesis

The library keeps 2-3 copies of each thesis submitted to graduate programs at UHD. One copy will be kept in the Special Collections for preservation. Other copies will be made available to check-out. Students must submit 2-3 original unbound copies on white 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Use at least 20 pound paper. Look for "Acid Free," "Archival Quality," or "Thesis Paper" on the label. Print all text with a 1.25-inch left margin. Each copy of the thesis should include an authorizing signatures page with original signatures.

Unbound theses may be brought to the Technical Services office in Room 517-North or mailed to:

         Kay Thomas
         Asst. Director for Technical Services
         UH Downtown Library
         1 Main Street
         Houston, TX 77002
