Dissertation Office

Winter PhD Candidates: At this point in the quarter you should have activated an account on ProQuest's ETD Administrator and completed the contact information section. Use your diploma name for both your contact name and the author name. The Institutional Student ID is your 8-digit University of Chicago Student ID, and the first two numbers are 10 or 12.

The Dissertation Office provides information on the University's dissertation policies. We help doctoral students understand dissertation formatting and publication requirements, and we assist with the submission process. We support graduate program administrators as they manage dissertation submissions and departmental approval, and we audit completed dissertation submissions to ensure they meet University requirements. We coordinate dissertation publishing and embargoes with ProQuest and with Knowledge@UChicago.
