Library Services collects digital copies of theses, dissertations, and research projects produced by Springfield College students. Questions about Library Services' collection of these documents can be sent to Patrick Hartsfield at jhartsfield@springfield.edu or 413-748-3784.
All official theses and dissertations are submitted to and processed by the Office of Academic Affairs. Procedures and more information are available on the PrideNET Thesis / Dissertation Submission page. Questions about submission and requirements may be directed to scthesis@springfieldcollege.edu.
Once completed, Academic Affairs provides Library Services with a digital copy of the document. The contents are verified and the document is permanently stored in our digital archive, and is also made available online as part of our digital collections. The student will receive a final official digital copy along with instructions on how to order bound copies of their thesis or dissertation for personal use.
