Corrections Protocol:

Your supervisor can advise you about your corrections during the correction period prior to you submitting them to the examiners.  When you are satisfied that all the required corrections have been made, the thesis should be submitted  once to the examiners.  Once submitted the thesis may not be referred back to the candidate for further amendment or improvement.

Please note that regardless of the method by which the corrections were sent to the Examiners for checking (electronic or hard copy)  if the corrections are considered not to have been completed to the satisfaction of the examiners the thesis will be deemed to have been unsuccessful with no opportunity to re-submit.

The University recognises that many research students are no longer based in Aberystwyth.  Corrections may be sent to the examiners electronically under the following conditions:

That the corrections are submitted once, and once only to the examiners
