IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:

  • The thesis or dissertation you upload in Vireo must be a single PDF file, and must include all committee-, department- and/or college-level edits.  It must be the absolute final version.  Once you confirm final submission, Vireo will prevent subsequent submissions.
  • Be sure to review the UNT Vireo Submission Guide before beginning the submission process.
  • You do not need to complete the entire submission process in one sitting; however, the entire process must be completed and confirmed by the submission deadlines.
  • Your official name as it appears in UNT records will automatically pre-fill in Vireo. If you wish to use your recorded chosen name, please contact the Graduate Reader after you have completed your submission (graduate.reader@unt.edu).  She can change the Vireo submission on her end for you.

Submission

Vireo was designed to be very user friendly, and students should not have much trouble figuring out what to do in order to successfully submit. 

  • If you experience technical difficulties with your submission, please contact the Graduate Reader for assistance.
