A student may request permission from the Graduate Dean to delay making the dissertation available to the public through the Texas Digital Libraries for up to a year in order to protect patent or other rights. This request must be supported by a written recommendation from the dissertation supervisor and must be submitted and approved prior to your graduation. If no petition is made to the Dean, the dissertation will be searchable on the web and available for free from UT.
- Publication/Processing Fees. All students are charged an $8 dissertation processing fee. Students who select optional UMI publication and copyright services will also be charged for the associated UMI fees: $65 for traditional publication, $160 for open access publication, $65 for registration of copyright. All of these fees are billed through The University of Texas, and you will receive an email notification when a bill has been created. These fees may be paid online through UT Direct, What I Owe or by check paid to the Cashier's Office located in Room 8 of the Main Building.
