Candidates for a doctoral degree must complete the degree by the end of PhD 7. Students who do not believe they will be able to complete their degree requirements within the time limit should contact their Departmental GPC for advice. If the student does not complete their degree requirements by the time limit stated above, they will be withdrawn from the University.
Students who were withdrawn can apply for readmission by completing and submitting the Request for Readmission webform only when they are ready to submit their thesis and will be charged fees for the term of readmission and any future terms of registration up to and including their term of graduation.
