After the final examination in defense of the dissertation has been passed and the dissertation has been approved, Ph.D. degree candidates must submit the dissertation online at http://dissertations.umi.com/indiana/. Students must follow the directions at this Web site to submit dissertations properly.

• The online dissertation submission form asks students to identify their departments. The "School of Public Health - Bloomington" should be selected in that field on the form.
• Next, the form asks for a student's main subject category. School of Public Health - Bloomington majors are not listed; select the "Health Sciences— General" subject category.
• Finally, in the field for additional subject categories, enter your major: environmental health, epidemiology, health behavior, human performance, or leisure behavior.

The online dissertation submission Web site contains complete instructions. However, if a problem is encountered, contact the University Graduate School at (812) 855-9345. Candidates for the Ph.D. must follow the guidelines and procedures for completing the dissertation, as outlined in the University Graduate School Bulletin. These guidelines and procedures are available at http://graduate.indiana.edu/theses-dissertations/submission/index.shtml.

In addition to online submission of the dissertation, specific items must be obtained, completed, and submitted to the Indiana University Graduate School recorder. These items include a Survey of Earned Doctorate Form, a signed acceptance page, and a signed research abstract. Please contact the University Graduate School recorder at (812) 855-9345 if you have questions about these required items.
