You must ask for a registration extension if you're not ready to hand in your draft thesis to our Research & Enterprise Training Institute by its due date. Check your timeline on Pulse if you are not sure when your deadline is. The Faculty Research Degrees Committees (FRDC) will consider your request and if it's approved this will show on your Pulse timeline. These resources explain the process in detail:
• Academic Regulations for PGR awards, section D. Registration
• Postgraduate Research Student's and Supervisor's Handbook Section K, Changes to Registration, p.70 'Extension to registration'.
