Bound Copies
Obtaining a Bound Copy
The Graduate School does not require you to submit any bound copies (some departments do; see below), but you may want bound copies for your own use. Clemson OPEN and the Graduate School do not provide ETD printing and binding services. You are free to choose any vendor whose services meet your and your department’s preferences. Local print and copy shops may be able to provide quality spiral-bound, softcover books. An online search will locate established North American and overseas printers/binderies who specialize in thesis or dissertation print production, including Thesis On Demand, PHD Bookbinding, Bachelor Print and Smith-Shattuck Bookbinding.
Bound Copy Requirements for Certain Departments
Each graduate program has its own requirements for students to follow when ordering bound copies of their manuscripts. To see if your program requires bound copies, and to locate additional information, check the list below. If your program is listed, you must turn in a bound copy to your department, but you may follow all of the Graduate School’s formatting guidelines for electronic manuscripts (no reformatting for print is required). If there is an additional note listed by your program, contact the appropriate person to find out the additional requirements.
