The HC recommends that your final bound thesis be printed at Printing and Mailing. They are familiar with HC thesis regulations and have all required materials in stock. Printing and binding specifications for your honors thesis are requirements. If you turn in a thesis that is not printed according to specifications, you will be asked to reprint.

Tip: Submit your thesis for printing as a .pdf to prevent inadvertent changes.
