2. Thesis submission

After you have completed the submission process, the Graduate School will check your thesis against the requirements in the Higher Degree by Research Examination Policy. If your thesis doesn’t meet the requirements, the Graduate School will contact you and ask you to amend and re-upload your thesis to UQRDM, so it can be sent for examination. Once approved by the Graduate School your Principal Advisor will be asked to log in to their UQRDM dashboard to approve your submission. 

Once these approvals are complete your thesis will be sent to examiners.  

• If your thesis doesn’t meet the requirements, the Graduate School will contact you and ask you to amend and re-upload your thesis to UQRDM, so it can be sent for examination.
• If your thesis meets all requirements, the Graduate School will confirm that your thesis is officially ‘submitted’ and will send it for examination.
• If you are required to undertake an oral examination, your thesis won’t be recorded as officially ‘submitted’ until after you have completed your oral exam.
