If your thesis / FYP cannot be shared at all because it contains confidential, sensitive information, or commercialisation potential, you can request for an exemption. 

Students must discuss and obtain prior approval from their supervisors by filling in the request form before seeking a submission exemption for their theses and FYPs. 

 

Exemption procedure for students

(a) Go to this link (or you can go to Student ServiceNow Portal > Request for Services > Library Services > Request for Embargo or Exemption of Thesis/FYP in DR-NTU).

(b) Fill in the request form and submit. Your supervisor will receive an email notification to approve/reject the request. You can check the progress of your request at Student ServiceNow portal.

(c) Once your supervisor approves the request, the full-text of the student work is exempted from deposit. 

FYP / Master by Course Dissertation: No further action is required. 
PhD Thesis / Master by Research Dissertation: Deposit the non-sensitive metadata and (redacted) abstract to DR-NTU, where possible.
