Does the Graduate Centre administer candidature for students enrolled in postgraduate coursework programs?
No. The Graduate Centre administers candidature for postgraduate research students. Students enrolled in coursework degrees should contact the relevant Faculty/school/Discipline for advice relating to their programs.
You will find details of the duration of candidature and mode of study in the relevant academic program rules.
YES, if you have signed a Student Project Participation Agreement (SPPA).
NO, if your research is commercially, culturally, or politically sensitive, or if you are awaiting the results of a patent application or publishing contract. If you and your supervisor believe an embargo is required (and you have not signed an SPPA) you must apply for one as early as possible in your candidature. Further information is provided in the Research Student Handbook.
What are the fee implications if an extension of candidature is approved?
Domestics students are exempt from HECS/RTS.
International students are liable for fees.
Whats an embargo?
An embargo is a period during which access to a thesis is not allowed. Normally an embargo is for twelve months, with effect from the date of thesis submission.
An embargo may be required because of issues relating to intellectual property, or where a thesis contains research which is subject to a security restriction, or where a thesis contains commercially, culturally, politically or other sensitive data which the author has undertaken to the source not to disclose for a limited period of time. Further information is provided in the Research Student Handbook.
Where can I get a copy of the program rules from the year of my enrolment?
The Academic Programs rules are available on the Graduate Centre Program rules. Alternatively, a hardcopy of the relevant University calendar may be viewed at the Barr Smith Library.
Please refer to the Graduate Centre's A-Z of Policy and forms.

Why have I received a letter telling me I have been suspended?
Candidature and any scholarship payments will be suspended if you do not comply with any formal requirement of your candidature: for example, non-lodgement of a formal review of progress; unapproved leave of absence; failing to return from leave of absence on the expected date; failing to notify the Graduate Centre of your return from leave of absence within two weeks of your return; and non-payment of University fees and charges. The reason for your suspension is detailed in the letter.
Further information is provided in the Research Student Handbook.
