Deposit of UNIL theses

Theses are deposited electronically on Serval. BCUL is responsible for validating your deposit, but it is your responsibility to check that your pdf :

• is the final version that has obtained the imprimatur
• includes the title page and imprimatur
• is of sufficient quality, especially if it includes images (max 350 MB)
• respects any confidentiality agreements signed (publishing house, patent, etc.).

Once these conditions have been met, you must :

• order your grade online
• upload your thesis to Serval as a pdf file, including title page and imprimatur
• accept the general conditions of diffusion (in the grade order)

Be careful: once the deposit has been validated, it is very difficult to modify it!

IMPORTANT: You must remain registered until your thesis deposit is validated by the BCUL. If the deposit on Serval is validated:

• after October 15: registration is mandatory for the fall semester.
• after February 28: registration is mandatory for the spring semester.
