EIU Policy Policies on Withholding the Graduate Thesis from Public Release
In some cases, the master’s thesis might result in marketable intellectual property or may be part of a larger funded or unfunded project leading to publications including articles, books, or related scholarly work. In these cases, the candidate or the director may require that the work be temporarily withheld from open access until these processes are initiated. This must be done through the formal process of submitting a Thesis Withholding Request Form through Booth Library.
• Deposit of the Thesis: In order to have the graduate degree certified to the transcript, the approved thesis must be deposited with Booth Library.
• Withholding the Graduate Thesis Criteria: Candidates and their thesis directors must provide evidence by completing the Thesis Withholding Request Form that the thesis must be withheld to protect a contractual obligation such as a grant or sponsored research, that the work is under consideration for publication, or that the work includes a potentially patentable invention. Request to withhold publication for other reasons will not be considered.
• Period of Withholding: Candidates may request that the master’s thesis be withheld for one year and may request an additional extension of one year. After two years, the master’s thesis will be made accessible.
• Withholding by Candidate or Director: The graduate candidate, the thesis director, or both may request that a thesis be withheld.
