Allow student make submission to LUTPub only for final version of his/her thesis: pdf/a file needs to be completely finished! Student cannot edit, change or take away the thesis he/she has saved in LUTPub: once the library has published the thesis in LUTPub, the pdf/a of the thesis is immediately available for download from the open network. Any errors found after publication will be corrected with an Errata document. The library will process the saved theses as soon as possible. Please note that there is a longer delay in handling theses submissions and responding to emails during the library's summer and Christmas holidays.
LUT Thesis template for Bachelor's and Master's theses is introduced on 11.8.2021. All theses after that deploy this template, and also the theses for the double and triple degree programmes are written on LUT's thesis template. Up-to-date version of template (Word and LaTeX) is available in the eLUT pages: for Bachelor's theses / for Master's theses. A pdf/a file of the thesis is saved in LUTPub.
