Submit Your Research

To submit your research, log in or create an account in STARS. Then, click on a link below or navigate to the specific Collection and click the Submit Work link in the left column. Some publications do not allow authors to submit directly. In these cases, you will be provided with a mail form to contact the appropriate administrator for further instructions.

Faculty and Staff Submissions

Faculty and staff may submit research online through a direct submission process or contact STARS@ucf.edu to be paired with a staff member who will assist with the submission process. All submissions are reviewed for digital accessibility and copyright compliance.

Please submit all published faculty research to Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works, not a department-specific collection. STARS will sort your works according to the college and department noted on the submission.

Student Submissions

Student contributions include Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Honors Undergraduate Theses, and works that are recommended for inclusion by a UCF faculty member.

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Once your format review assignment is approved, instructions for submitting your work will be provided by the Office of Graduate Student Life and the Thesis Editor. Please wait for these instructions before attempting to submit your work, and ensure you follow the specified submission process outlined in the instructions. Failure to adhere to these instructions will lead to rejection of your submission.

Honors Undergraduate Theses

After a student successfully completes their format review, orally defends their thesis, and submits the Thesis Approval Form, they will receive instructions from the Office of Honors Research to upload the final thesis document to the STARS.

Student Scholar Symposium

The Student Scholar Symposium provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to present their research and creative scholarship to the UCF community during Student Research Week. Submit your Student Scholar Symposium poster.
