Thesis Embargo

Thesis Embargo

Thesis Embargo: A thesis embargo will delay the release of the thesis to the public domain for a specific period. 

Once embargoed, only the title and the abstract of a thesis will appear in the Research Repository UCD (RRU). The full text of the thesis will become available for public view when the embargo period expires. 

Application for an embargo can be made to the University  Graduate Research Board

Please note that an embargo on a thesis is normally sought three months in advance of the expected thesis submission date. Discuss with your supervisor if an embargo is required.

An embargo is a prerequisite to be addressed before the eThesis is uploaded to the system for examination.
