RESOLUTION 2006-2007-2 Electronic Thesis and Dissertations
Dissemination Policy
Whereas,
the university is dedicated to open access of original work for the
purposes of scholarship, and
Whereas,
the university is mindful of protecting the rights of our students
with regard to their original work,
Be it resolved,
that UCF will provide the following options for all graduate
students submitting an Electronic Thesis and Dissertation:
- immediate worldwide
dissemination with no restrictions
- pending dissemination of
the entire work for six months for patent or other proprietary
issues, with an additional six months extension available. Once
patent and proprietary issues are resolved, then students could
choose from options 1 or 3.
- dissemination with limited
access to the UCF community (its library patrons, including
interlibrary sharing and release to ProQuest) for a period of
one or three years and the declaration of this occurs
during the final submission. Once the initial request is
granted, additional extensions of one year can be
obtained by notification to the Office of Graduate Studies using
the Request to Extend Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Access
Limitations form. It is the responsibility of the student to
request any such extension; otherwise, the document will
automatically be released for electronic dissemination.
