D-SPACE:
It is a requirement that your Senior Project be uploaded to D-Space. This enables the College to include the student’s comp in the College’s Senior Project Archives, and with the student’s approval, made available to the public and/or members of the campus community.
All instructions and Permission forms will be found here.  Deadline to submit to D-Space is prior to graduation.
