Submitting Your ETD
Submitting your ETD is a quick and simple process. After your thesis advisor or dissertation director has approved your ETD, go to the ETD Online System at http://etd.library.pitt.edu/ETD-db/index_author.html. Click on "Log In" and create an account using your Pitt username and password. (If you have any trouble creating an account, contact ETD Support at etd-support@library.pitt.edu). Once you have logged in to the ETD Online System, follow the instructions for submitting your ETD documents.
Take your signed ETD Approval Form and all necessary payment receipts and documents to the graduation coordinator at your school. Your school will review the ETD and your supporting documents. If there are any problems, you will receive an email about it from your school. If there are no problems, you will receive an email stating that your ETD has been approved. It will be searchable on Pittcat within one week.
