New!! (2-1) Thesis Publication Authorization Form : 2 copies

When applying for a defense, students must select “immediate publication” or “delayed publication” and write the reason for this. Then, the system will generate a “Thesis Publication Authorization Form.” If delayed publication is selected, students must submit supporting documentation (to justify the need for requesting a delayed publication), which will be reviewed and signed by the defense committee during the oral examination.

學生申請學位考試時，須勾選「立即公開」或「延後公開」，並填列原因。經系所確認後，系統將自動產出『學位論文公開授權書』。倘選擇延後公開，學生應另檢附證明資料，並由考試委員於口試時審核並簽章。
