It may take up to 2 business days (M-F, excluding holidays) to receive a response to your question or ProQuest submission - especially during high-volume times in the quarter.

What if I don't want my thesis published right away?

Answer

If you plan to publish your work elsewhere, you can delay the release of your manuscript in ProQuest for a period of 6 months or 1-6 years. This is requesting an embargo (add embargo link here), and it means that your manuscript will not be cataloged for the UC Irvine Libraries collection, published online through eScholarship, nor published by ProQuest in their databases until after the embargo period concludes.
