Griffith College Dissertations: 

Learners are required to sign a Declaration stating that the thesis submitted is the candidate’s own work. This Declaration will include acknowledgement that you agree to your work being deposited by Library staff on your behalf on Griffith Open, in the event a grade of 60% or above is achieved. If there are considerations of privacy and/or copyright, these should be discussed at faculty level who will inform and liaise with the Library. In this case, if it is appropriate, a record may still be included on the repository with the abstract only being available to view.

At present Library staff deposit research materials on behalf of Griffith College faculty and staff members. By using the Mediated Deposit Service, you are deemed to have agreed to the terms of the declaration under the Deposit License Agreement above.
