Once students pass their final dissertation defense, they need to complete the graduation process to be able to get their official diploma. Please bear in mind that students often need to authenticate their diploma with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for international validation. Please refer to the Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for further information on this issue and see additional information below.
Step 1: Uploading your dissertation
Go to the Thesis Uploading Portal at the NCCU Online Library and click “Upload Papers”. Enter your credentials and begin the process.
Both the thesis uploading manual and NCCU watermark are available at the portal (not required for electronic files being uploaded).
For e-upload, use the following format:
Once the uploading file process is completed, it will take some time (from a few minutes to several hours) for the Library to verify it.
Students will receive a notification via email.
Students must print out the "Letter of Authorization for Thesis and Dissertations" and include it in their dissertation-bound copy.
Step 2: Submitting hard copies
After uploading the dissertation online, pick up the "Eligible Paper/Accreditation Letter" form signed by the dean, and include it in the hard copies along with the “Letter of Authorization for Thesis and Dissertation”.
Students need to hand in 1 hard copy to the IDAS office and 2 copies to the NCCU library.
Printing shops usually take 3-4 working days (fewer days with an additional fee). We recommend that students print their dissertations at the printing shop on campus.
Please make sure to follow the required format before printing (download the complete guidelines in the Downloads section):
