Electronic Theses, Dissertations, and Reports
Electronic submission
All K-State graduate students are required to submit an electronic version of their
thesis, dissertation, or report. The Graduate School does not accept paper copies.
Open Access
Electronic theses, dissertations, and reports (ETDR) submitted by K-State students
are openly available through the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) and are indexed by Google, Google Scholar, and other search engines.
PDF
PDF is the required format for submitting an ETDR, but students have the option of
including supplemental files, such as audio, video, datasets, etc. along with their PDF file.

This site provides detailed information on ETDR requirements and guidelines; Word and LaTeX templates for writing your ETDR; guidelines for using Word and troubleshooting Word problems; a submission checklist when your ETDR is finished; and much more. Use the menu on the left to access specific
