How is the ETD approved?
Your paper will reside in a secure location on the ETD site where it may only be accessed by your institution. While there, the institution can modify or correct any of the submitted fields. Corrections can be made to names, dates, degrees, etc. The institution designates online when a paper is approved, and the ETD system immediately moves the paper into the publicly accessible site or holds it until the embargo date.
