ETD Support: Spring 2008
WVU Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Technical Support is provided by OIT Technical Support Services. In addition to providing support by appointment, the ETD Support Team also presents scheduled and special request workshops and provides technical support during walk-in clinics listed below during the week before each submission deadline.
The Spring 2008 submission deadline is Friday May 9, 4pm.
Walk-in Clinics
ETD Walk-in Clinics are informal open-house opportunities to work on ETD preparation with ad hoc assistance from the ETD technical support team; participants are admitted to clinics on a first-come/first-served basis. The clinic schedule is subject to change - please check this online schedule [oit.wvu.edu/training/etd/] during the week before you plan to attend in case there have been any changes to times or locations.

Clinic Notes:
- Multiple locations: Pay close attention to which clinic is in which lab.
- Macintosh and WordPerfect users who need assistance can make an appointment with a technical support team member at One Waterfront Place as those computer resources are not available in campus labs.
- You can bring your own: Students are welcome to bring their own laptops to clinics but the laptops must have full version of Adobe Acrobat installed (not just the free reader) for conversion on the laptop. Files might have to be transferred to a clinic computer for final submission since there might not be wireless network access available.
- Come early: Students who wish to complete their work in a single clinic should try to arrive within the first 90 minutes of a half-day clinic. Students are also welcome to bring general questions about the conversion or submission process to the clinics.
- Appointments are required for sessions at One Waterfront Place - walk-in students cannot be accommodated at that location.
