FAQ: Does SNHU, or any of its affiliates, reserve rights to our capstone/thesis projects, or do students retain ownership of their copyright?

All learners at SNHU retain full ownership of the intellectual property that they create in their coursework or as part of special events such as Undergraduate Research Day. We may ask students in some programs to grant a license to SNHU to publish their thesis, doctoral dissertation, Honors Thesis, or other project in the SNHU digital archive, but it is voluntary. Students in certain graduate programs (MA Hist., MA Eng Lit, EdD., all PhD) have research publication as part of their graduation requirements, but they retain all rights to their work.
