Guide to Thesis and Dissertation Binding at the UEL Print Centre
The Print Centre offers a complete solution for thesis and dissertation printing and binding to Students at both our Stratford and Docklands campuses.
The pricing is dependant on time scale requirements and the number of copies requested and may be subject to change at the Print Centre’s discretion (see full details below).
CONTENT SUBMISSION
Students should supply a single digital file for printing, the preferable format being a single PDF but a Word file can be accepted subject to the student approving a PDF proof version created by the Print Centre. All pages must be A4 unless by arrangement.
Please submit your file to the Binding mailbox binding@uel.ac.uk stating how many copies required and date required. We will email you with the quote for costs and details of how to pay.
Inclusive in the pricing students can have up to 100 pages printed with a maximum limit of 20 pages printed in colour; the balance will be printed black and white. Or simply up to 100 pages in black and white. All pages will be printed single sided on brilliant white 100gsm bond paper. Additional black and white sheets will be charged at 5p per copy and colour sheets at 20p per copy.
Hard copy provided by the student can also be bound but the binding cost remains the same.
The University of East London has specific guidelines and regulations pertaining to the standardized presentation of thesis or dissertations and these will be strictly observed.
However, often specific requirements are dependent on your course and may vary from the norm.
Please check with your Supervisor to ensure you have the correct specifications. It is very important that you check your final file version carefully before you go to print!

Payment
Once you have accepted the quotation for your print and binding costs, we will issue a paper receipt which you will need to collect from the Print Centre (East Building, room EBG.12, Docklands Campus) or we can email a receipt which you can print out for yourself.
In either case, you need to take this to the Cashier’s Office (Ground floor, North Building, Docklands Campus) and make full payment BEFORE we can start your work. Please bring the stamped receipt back to the Print Centre as proof of payment. We’re sorry but no cash or credit card payment can be accepted at the Print Centre due to financial regulation.
Opening hours of the Cashier’s Office are currently 9.30am - 4pm Monday – Friday (please telephone 020 8223 2974 for further enquiries connected to payment e.g. by credit card)
Please factor in the time for payment as this will affect the turnaround time for your work to be produced.
