Bound Copies

Submitting hard copies of theses for binding

You may optionally purchase bound copies of your thesis. To do so, collect the following:

An appropriate number of pre-printed, single-sided, final copies to be bound, each placed in separate clasp envelopes.
a complete Thesis Binding Information Form.
proof of payment for binding via TouchNet ($9 per copy).

If you are completing University Honors, you should make an appointment to deliver these items to Victoria Kovtun in the Honors College so that she can coordinate with the library for binding.

If you are completing Departmental/College Honors, but not University Honors, you should make an appointment to deliver these things to your Department/College Honors Program Director. They will later bring the materials they have collected within their department/college to Victoria Kovtun so that she can coordinate with the library for binding.

Please contact Victoria Kovtun via email (kovtunv@appstate.edu) with any questions or concerns you may have about the thesis submission process.
