How to publish a degree project

This is how it works after your degree project has been approved by the examiner

The examiner sends approval of the grading and publication documentation as well as the file with the degree project to the Educational Administration, which makes the necessary preparations.
Library staff register the work in DiVA and upload the said file
All degree projects must be registered in DiVA, but we only publish the full text if you have approved this!
Approval is given by all authors signing the publication approval.
The form must be submitted/sent in original form (i.e. in paper form, signed with ink pen and with name clarification) to the address below:

University West, Library
461 86 Trollhättan
The thesis is published.

You keep an eye out in DiVA for your degree project. We register all work as soon as we have time and after that the librarian checks that publication approval has been received. If there is approval, it will be published as a full text, otherwise only the registration will be shown. It is not possible to say an exact time when your work will be published.

If your degree project is not available in DiVA or cannot be accessed in full text (pdf file), you can contact the university's archivist, who is able to distribute the thesis to anyone who so wishes.
