Electronic Theses and Dissertations

eTD@BC is the system that graduate students at Boston College use to submit their theses and dissertations. All final eTDs must be submitted and published online through ProQuest/UMI, as well as BC’s Open Access institutional repository, eScholarship. (For more information, see the University eTD policy.)

Please note:

• The eTD checklist will help you through the process. To use it, simply go to the link, click File → Make a copy... and begin editing your personal copy.

• Students should not furnish paper copies of their thesis or dissertation to the Boston College Libraries. And, there is no charge for the online submission.

• eTD@BC workshops are held each October and February. If you are/were unable to attend, please review the information on this website and in the accompanying slides. For additional questions, please contact the ETD Administrator.

• There is an extensive FAQ to help you quickly resolve questions.

In February 2022, there will an eTD workshop where I will go over the process for submitting your work, including walking through the ProQuest interface. For more details and to sign up, visit the Library's Workshop Calendar. Note that the same workshop is being offered three times, so only sign up for one.
