Submitting a thesis to Flinders University Library
After an examined thesis has been finalised, students (excluding Honours) are required to submit a copy to be made publicly available via the library.
All HDR students will have a sanction applied to their student account until their final thesis has been correctly uploaded to the library according to the instructions on this page (with all copyright issues addressed); the sanction will remain on your student profile until the library has confirmed your submission.
Library submission process
1. Discuss with your supervisor if you think you may require an embargo if there are reasons for your thesis to not be shared publicly immediately (which is the default).
2. Assess the copyright if you included any images in your thesis that have come from other sources. You need to have consent to use images, not just reference them.
3. If there are publications included in your thesis, check how the publisher will permit you to include the articles in the public version of your thesis.
4. Check whether you need to remove any sensitive material, such as redacting confidential or personal information.
5. Prepare your files for submission. If you had copyright or confidential material that needs redacting, you will need to prepare two separate files.
6. Submit the thesis online:
