- CUNY Academic Works
All graduates submit here. Create an account using your permanent email address (one you will access after graduation), then return to this guide and click the CUNY Academic Works link on this page.
- ProQuest
Only doctoral dissertations are submitted to ProQuest.
The library will review your submission and notify you if corrections are required within 2-3 business days.
Personal Print Copies
The library no longer archives dissertations and theses in print. The PDF you submit online is added to our collection in CUNY Academic Works. However, if you would like a personal bound copy for your own use, the same bindery that produced the library's print dissertations and theses offers a "thesis on demand" service:
Simply upload your PDF and select your color, materials, and other preferences to have a personal copy printed, bound, and delivered to you or your department.
ProQuest also offers personal bound copies for sale as part of the online submission process for doctoral dissertations.
