On the way to graduation
The APD system plays the role of an electronic repository of written diploma theses. This application acts as a catalogue and repository of electronic versions of theses created at the Academy. In addition to archiving, the main function of the APD service is to support the procedure of their submission and archiving in the system. The process of introducing the diploma theses into the system is defined in the manuals and instructions see: https://apd.chat.edu.pl/documents/page/instrukcja/

The printed copy of the diploma thesis (delivered to the Dean’s Office) downloaded from the APD system must be identical to the electronic version. The verification consists of imposing control numbers on all sides of the thesis.
