ProQuest controls the embargo length on dissertations in their database, and typically has a maximum embargo length of two years. Contact them at disspub@proquest.com to request that your embargo be extended for additional years. 

This will not extend your embargo on your dissertation in the TAMU-CC Repository. To request an embargo extension, you must complete the Embargo Extension Request form and submit it by email to scholarlycommunications@tamucc.edu. The form can be downloaded on the TAMU-CC Repository Guide.
