Submission Procedures including electronic version of thesis

The student needs to complete an intention to submit form at least one month PRIOR to the date that they intend to submit their thesis.  Departments send this form to the Graduate School. The nominated examiners must then be approved by the Office of Postgraduate Studies.

After their approval the Graduate School contacts the External Examiner for his/her formal written acceptance to act as an examiner. Without receipt of this agreement the thesis cannot be sent to the examiners.

Students complete the submission documents which are submitted to their department along with the two copies of the thesis and an electronic version of the thesis . The department then forwards the thesis to the Registry. Please note that the thesis cannot be dispatched to the examiners without the student being clear of any debts to the University. Fee checks will be completed by the Graduate School and require no action on the part of the Student; unless they have an outstanding balance to pay.
