A thesis or dissertation submitted electronically with no requests for restriction by the student will have immediate publication
once the manuscript has been approved by the Graduate College.
On occasion, a student may request a delay in the publication of the thesis or dissertation if immediate release may influence
publishing a book or seeking a patent. If this is the case, the Request for Delayed Publication form must be submitted along with the ETD Submission Form. Generally, the Graduate College discourages the use of delayed publication
without reasonable cause.
