Post-submission

Traditionally, on submission of a thesis for examination, a candidate is no longer considered to be a student and access to core services ceases. The University recognises, however, that access to facilities such as email and the Library are essential to students immediately post-submission, to allow for preparation of publications arising from your research, maintain relationships with academic contacts, and ultimately to make any emendations that may be required before submission of the archival copy of your thesis.

Throughout 2009, students will automatically continue to have full borrowing rights at the Library from the time of submission until the award of the degree. Continuing access after award is currently being discussed by the Library and Alumni & Community Relations.

At the time of publication, automatic continuing email access after submission is still being finalised, so please check with your faculty office if you need continued access to email after you submit your thesis.
