Institution's/Department's OA Self-Archiving Policy
The School of Computing has a policy (promulgated by the Head of School, the Research Director, and the PhD Coordinator in 2004) that all refereed publications in conferences, journals and books, be deposited in the University repository. This applies to faculty, and to PhD candidates and other students in the School, without exception.
After two years operation by the School, the repository became a University responsibility in November 2006. The University is pursuing a patchwork mandate policy http://eprints.utas.edu.au/410/ bringing in similar departmental mandates as a first step to an institutional mandate.
The University has however already mandated that all PhD and research Master theses must be deposited in the repository, at the time of degree completion ( decision of Academic Senate, 6 Nov 2006, http://acserv.admin.utas.edu.au/acservices/meetings/Senate/Appendix/06_06BGR1.doc )

thesis-mandate)

Thesis mandate applying to all graduate research candidates enrolled after 1 January 2007. See http://eprints.utas.edu.au/ for the repository.
Institution's/Department's OA Self-Archiving Policy
The change was made simply by changing the Rules to as to require the candidate to submit two bound paper copies and one electronic copy, instead of three bound paper copies of the examined thesis. The Office of Graduate Research passes one of each copy to the Library and the Library uploads the electronic copy (and files the paper copy to gather dust). For the policy see http://acserv.admin.utas.edu.au/rules/Rule4.doc.
