Thesis and Dissertation Preparation
As your Electronic Thesis or Dissertation (ETD) represents a significant contribution to the knowledge of your particular discipline and contributes to the intellectual legacy of the University of Toledo, we have created a wealth of resources designed to assist you in preparing and presenting the very best version of your document possible. Our ultimate goal is to provide a centralized location for deadlines, resources, forms and submission links to ensure you are able to navigate the process efficiently.
