FAQ Thesis Printing #

Here you find freqent questions regarding thesis printing.

I need my thesis as quickly as possible, what should I do? #

Many students would like to have as much time as possible to work on their thesis and have it printed on the day of the deadline directly. Since we propose the thesis printing service for about 3000 students and do all printing in our free time, we cannot guarantee that we will have the time to accomodate your wishes. As a rule of thumb, we need about 1 to 2 workdays to print a thesis, during exam phase even 3 to 4 workdays.

If you notice that you are short on time, write us a mail and we’ll see what we can do. You can also give us a call in extreme emergency cases.

How long does binding a thesis take? #

This depends strongly on the number of copies you have, but a general estimation is around 10 minutes. After the binding, the thesis should cool off for 10 more minutes so no pages slip out during transport.

We recommend you leave the bound thesis rest for 30 minutes before opening it. If possible, wait until the spine has completely cooled down.

Can you tell me how much a print of my thesis will cost? #

The price for printing copies of your thesis depends on many factors such as the number of copies, the number of coloured pages, etc. For this reason, it is hard to give a general estimate for a price.

Colour or black/white? #

Of course we can also print in colour. As soon as a page has coloured content, it is automatically printed in colour. Keep in mind that coloured pages are more expensive to print than black/white pages, but we recommend printing images and diagrams in colour. The price for a colour page is independent of the quantity of ink used, so we advise you not to include small coloured element on every page (e.g. the TUM logo or coloured page numebers) as that would increase the cost per copy greatly.

Sometimes, pages are considered as coloured even though they do not look the part. In most of these cases, the cause is a black-and-white image that has been compressed with JPG, or the used colour scheme is colour-based grey (and not pure greyscale).

What paper do you use? #

Mondi Color Copy, 100g/m², multi-coated

The paper is slightly heavier than ordinary copy paper, and the coating gives it a classy feel.

What cover sheet colours can I choose from? #

Apart from the standard cover (transparent foil/black carton) we also have a large selection of coloured carton covers to choose from. You’re free to drop by our printing office to have a look at them in person anytime.

How can I pay? #

We accept cash only.

How can I transport the copies? #

A notebook bag is excellent for transporting the finished thesis papers. They will remain safe from rain, dog-ears and won’t wrinkle.

Alternatively, we can provide a paper bag.

I am not an Electrical and Computer Engineering student. Can you still print my thesis? #

We propose our services primarily for Electrical and Computer Engineering students. However, if we have the time and resources, we can print external theses, such as dissertations or theses of students from other faculties. Even so, please understand that Electrical and Computer Engineering theses will have priority.

Making Your Thesis a Success

For most students, their final research paper is the first major work written during their degree program. It is much more comprehensive and demanding than term or seminar papers they have written during the course of their studies and, therefore, requires more planning.

The individual assignment of the examination performance to be evaluated should be clearly evident from the work. On the cover page and the spine only the name of the student submitting this copy should be written. On the first page, all authors can be listed under "Authors".

If you are unable to meet the submission deadline of your thesis for valid reasons for which you are not responsible, you can submit an application for an extension of the thesis to the Examination Board.

The application must be submitted immediately to the secretary responsible for your degree program, by email from your TUM account. If possible, please fill in and sign the form digitally. Medical certificates also have to be submitted in original (by post). The processing time after submission of all documents is usually two weeks, and you will be notified of the Examination Board's decision.

Applications can generally be divided into two categories:

1) Health reasons

If you are ill and can prove by a certificate that you are prevented from working on your thesis, the processing time is suspended. In the Department of Informatics, this is represented by an extension of your submission deadline. A medical certificate must be enclosed with the application in original. A certificate of incapacity for work is not sufficient. You can find the requirements for a certificate on the website  Withdrawing from Examinations – Medical Certificates .

Request for an Extension for Health Reasons

2) Other reasons

In cases of delays due to other valid reasons for which you are not responsible, the submission deadline of your thesis may be extended in exceptional and particularly justified cases in agreement with the thesis examiner and with the approval of the Examination Board. Please enclose a detailed justification (if possible with supporting documents) with your application.

Request for an Extension for Other Reasons

Completing your Studies

Release of final certificate.

Please contact the secretary of the Examination Board of your study program via e-mail for the release of your Bachelor's degree documents when all grades have been entered and validly set. For enrollment in consecutive Master's programs in Informatics at TUM, the following applies: From mid-September and mid-March respectively, the graduation will be reported directly to the Enrollment Office after the release of the transcripts, so that the graduation documents are no longer necessary for enrollment.

Graduation documents and preliminary certificates

Please be aware that graduation documents and preliminary certificates can only be issued when all grades in TUMonline (including the thesis) are validated. Certificates for students of the Faculty for Informatics  are issued by the  Graduation Office and Academic Records Campus Garching  exclusively,  after approval by the Examination Board . Please contact the  Secretary of the Examination Board of your study program  as soon as all your grades are validated. (Responsible Secretary of the Examination Board: see section "Contact" on the webpage for your study program)

Transition Bachelor – Master

If you enroll for a consecutive Master's program at the Department of Informatics after your Bachelor's degree, we will forward your bachelor's degree to the Admissions and Enrollment Office for enrollment (not for the application!). The graduation documents are therefore not necessary for enrollment. A green checkmark will then appear in the online application portal for your degree certificate and diploma. Please note that it may take a few days until the documents are updated in the portal. If you do not see these two green check marks 1 week before the enrollment deadline, please contact the secretary of the examination board as soon as possible.

Doctoral candidates according to an older version of the Doctoral Regulations

All doctoral candidates who entered into the Doctoral Candidacy List of their Department before January 1st, 2014  will have to get a DocGS account first. For TUM-GS members , an account has already been created. They can log in to DocGS with their email address and click on " new password” . Doctoral candidates without TUM-GS membership have to create a new account. After completing the profile, doctoral candidates can now apply for "submission of the dissertation". If you have any questions on DocGS, please contact our DocGS Support Team via  [email protected] .

In addition, under older versions of the Doctoral Regulations prior to January 1, 2014, doctoral candidates must provide evidence of prior education , as this was not deposited in DocGS at the start of the dissertation. This includes:

• Diploma or Master’s certificate
• certificate of the final Diploma examination, Master’s examination or certification of the state examination, etc.
• for foreign university degrees: certificate of recognition of equivalence
• for medical doctorates: certificate of the medical or dental examination

Apart from these steps, the general regulations for submission should be followed.
