Your thesis is submitted to Thesis Processing via your own thesis SharePoint
site. You will receive your SharePoint address via e-mail. If you lost or never
received the e-mail, contact the SharePoint department at
[email protected].
To access SharePoint, you must download a program called Cisco
AnyConnect, which logs you into the NPS Virtual Private Network. Download
the software from the NPS technology website.
Once connected to the network, go to your SharePoint site. In the username
prompt, enter “ERN/” before your user name: ERN\username.
Upload your thesis to your SharePoint site.
Click the submit link at the top of your site to submit your paper for initial
review and be assigned a thesis processor.
Formatting Your Thesis

Download the thesis template from our website. The template
contains all instructions and styles you need to format your
paper. Your thesis processor can answer any questions you
may have.

Designate the file you upload to SharePoint as your “master
