How to deposit your work in Summit
SFU research and other works
SFU faculty, graduate students, and staff are encouraged to deposit their work using the Summit Deposit Form.
Fill out the form and attach the document, manuscript or other material you wish to deposit. Summit staff will manage any embargo periods required by your publisher. Public access to the material will be enabled at the end of the embargo period.
If there are too many items to deposit at one time using the submission form, please email us at summit@sfu.ca to arrange for an alternate method of getting your material into Summit.
SFU theses
Graduate thesis submission and deposit into Summit is done entirely online. It is the student's responsibility to upload all documents to the SFU Library’s Thesis Registration System.
