HelP: Thesis & Dissertation Binding

The thesis/dissertation should be collected and initial paperwork should be done by individual departments. This is a more streamlined approach since students already have to deal with the departments to get their thesis/dissertation approved and signed.

The thesis/dissertation can be dropped off in the library office (2nd floor). Hours for accepting thesis are Monday-Friday, 8am-3pm. It is recommended that patrons call 513 745-3884 or 3883 first to make sure someone is in the office to accept the thesis/dissertation. If it is not possible to drop off your thesis during office hours, special arrangements can be made by calling the office at 513 745-3884.

A thesis/dissertation binding form (MS Word) should accompany each thesis/dissertation.

The library does not make photocopies of a thesis/dissertation for the student. For example, if a student wants 5 copies bound they must submit 5 unbound copies to the library.

The library ships a thesis/dissertation as it is received. We do not check pagination or grammar.

Payment for all copies of thesis/dissertation to be bound must be made prior to shipment and preferably at the time thesis/dissertation is submitted for binding.

Payments may be made by cash or check payable to Xavier University Library. The library does not bill bursar accounts.

The cost to bind a thesis/dissertation is as follows:

  • Library copy no charge
  • Each additional copy is $16

Students do have the option of having their thesis/dissertation shipped to them upon return from the bindery. They must first complete and submit a shipment waiver (MS Word) to the library before their thesis/dissertation can be shipped.

The cost to have a thesis/dissertation shipped is as follows:

  • First copy shipped is $5
  • Each additional copy shipped is $3

Turn around time for binding a thesis/dissertation is 3-4 weeks. Each department will be notified by phone that their shipment has returned from the bindery.
