Hi Mitchell: At Berkeley, the Graduate Division requires that "All manuscripts must be submitted electronically in a traditional PDF format" for both dissertations<https://grad.berkeley.edu/academic-progress/dissertation/> and theses<https://grad.berkeley.edu/academic-progress/thesis/>.

A question came out during discussions about workflow about print submissions. The figures I have are a few years old but in ten years of data I have for our campus OA dissertation policies prior to 2020 there were only 5 or 6 printed dissertations submitted to Special Collections for cataloging. As a result of the small numbers, Irvine is looking to remove the option for print submission. In the discussion there was speculation that submitting only print would be a way to “hide” the dissertation and limit access. The UCI Dean of Graduate division is responsible for the policy about what may be granted longer embargo or how the author can comply with university policy for preservation archiving. What are your local practices for print submission of theses or dissertations? Irvine deposits masters theses if submitted by the author. Some masters programs do not require theses.
