General information
In order to graduate, students must submit their dissertation or thesis to ProQuest, a digital repository of scholarly works. Theses and dissertations will also appear in Niner Commons, UNC Charlotte’s own institutional repository. All theses and dissertations must be formatted according to the Graduate School's standards, and all milestones must be met in order to graduate.
