[Delayed Publication]

Q: How can I apply for delayed publication of my thesis?

A:
If you wish to delay the publication of your printed thesis,, you must submit an application before your degree examination. The examination committee will review the request during the oral defense to confirm whether it involves confidentiality, patents, or other legal reasons that justify a delayed publication.

If you wish to delay the publication of the electronic version only, you may simply set the desired release date in the system directly (the delay period may not exceed five years).

[Thesis Review Timeline]

Q: How long does the thesis review process take after uploading?
A: Typically, feedback is provided within two working days. However, as the submission deadline approaches, processing times may increase due to the high volume of submissions. Please plan your schedule carefully to avoid missing the clearance deadline.
