OFFICE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PROVOST AND
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT

December 6, 2017


ALL ACADEMICS, STAFF AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO

SUBJECT:    Presidential Policy on Open Access for Theses and Dissertations

The Office of the President invites comments on a proposed Presidential Policy on Open Access for Theses and Dissertations. The draft new policy is available online at:http://go.ucsd.edu/2dpmhry. The policy includes the following key issues:

· There is currently no systemwide uniformity or policy for ensuring open access to UC graduate students’ theses and dissertations. This policy will provide systemwide consistency for these works.

· Allowance for embargoes that delay the date theses or dissertations are made available in an open access repository.

If you have any questions, please contact Patricia Osorio-O’Dea at Patricia.Osorio-Odea@ucop.edu. Comments should be submitted no later than February 28, 2018 to ADV-VPCARLSON-SA@ucop.edu.
