How to locate previously submitted AU theses and dissertations.

Please note the following changes to the submission process:

As of April 15, 2012, ProQuest is ending its optional thesis and dissertation distribution agreements with 3rd-party retailers. If you chose the 3rd-party distribution option when submitting your thesis or dissertation, please be aware that your work will NOT be distributed via ProQuest's former 3rd party retail partners (e.g. Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, etc.). ProQuest will continue to provide direct access to and sales of your work, consistent with the publishing option you selected (Traditional or Open Access).

Effective for Spring 2013, the University has adopted new Embargo Guidelines for theses and dissertations.
