The RTD (retrospective thesis or dissertation) collection contains electronic versions of theses and dissertations previously published only in print. UCF Library's RTD project includes all theses or dissertations published at UCF since the first thesis was published in 1972 through mid-2004, after which theses and dissertations were automatically digitized.
If you completed a thesis or dissertations at FTU or UCF and it is only available in print, you can help us make it available online for use by researchers around the world by following the instructions on the distribution consent form here.
For additional assistance locating theses or dissertations, please contact the Digital Collections Project Coordinator, Kerri Bottorff
