2. Thesis submission

After you have completed the 2-step submission process, an email invitation will be sent to your Principal Advisor for review and approval. Once approved, the Graduate School will check your thesis against the requirements in the Higher Degree by Research Examination Policy. There are three possible outcomes:

• 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.

What to do next

Contact Student Central if you need a thesis statement to show your employer or sponsor that you have submitted your thesis.

Your student account will still allow you to access to:

• UQ Library
• student email
• mySI-net.

You are required to update your personal details in mySI-net, including your address and contact details.

It is important to regularly check your student email account to ensure you are receiving all official Graduate School and UQ communications.
