We are only an undergraduate institution, but students do honors theses.
They are required to pay for binding a copy that they are required to give
to the institution (cataloged in library).  Some academic departments also
require a copy from the student.  Payment for these by the student varies--
some departments pay, some departments make the student pay.
Faculty members who complete masters or doctoral study elsewhere sometimes
give a copy to the library.  Payment for binding these vary.  Some professors pay
for the binding, others expect the library to pay.
