Leave to submit
If a candidate is not able to submit by the end of their registration period (including any period of approved extension) it may be possible to submit the completed thesis for examination at a later date by requesting ‘leave to submit’. When the thesis is ready for examination a candidate should submit a request below. This will be considered by the Academic Director. Candidates considering requesting leave to submit at a later date should be aware that they will not have access to University facilities or be entitled to supervision after the end of their registration period. If approved, the Doctoral College will reactive the candidate’s registration period to allow access to University facilities during the examination period, subject to any visa requirements.
