Do I need copyright permissions if I want to include images, figures, and/or tables from another source in my dissertation?

Yes. You must obtain permission to use any images, figures, and/or tables appearing in copyrighted sources. Dissertations are published by ProQuest and sold for commercial purposes. Personal and Fair Use in the case of the dissertation does not apply.

To obtain permission, you must first identify the copyright holder - author, publisher, organization, or other entity that may hold the copyright. 

We recommend viewing the Copyright and Permissions tutorials and guides from Academic Writer, as well as the Library Copyright Guide. These resources explain the difference between citation and permissions and identify when it is necessary to obtain copyright permissions.
