The dissertation can be published after doctoral candidate’s faculty has given permission to defend the dissertation. The dissertation can be published either in print, electronically, or both. The dissertation must be published and delivered to the UEF library at least 10 days before the public examination. If the dissertation is published only electronically, the candidate should nevertheless deliver a paper copy for public viewing to the UEF library.
