Discuss with your supervisors an estimated submission date and lodge an Intention to Submit form via HDRhub. Once the Intention to Submit form has been approved, you will be able to submit your thesis online.
Follow the steps below to initiate the Thesis Submission form:
1. Log in to HDRhub
2. Click on "Graduate Research School" on the righthand menu
3. Click on "My Project"
4. Scroll down to "Examinations"
5. Click on the "Start now" button under the Thesis submission workflow
6. Follow the prompts
Note: If you are a fee-paying international student or do not have additional scholarship entitlements, there will be fee implications when you extend your candidature time limit or when your thesis submission is approved past the maximum submission date.
You must complete one of the following prior to submission of your thesis to meet the eligibility requirements to submit:
- Oral presentation or defence at School seminar
- Assessment by your Advisory Panel
- Assessment by the Graduate Research Coordinator and/or Head of School
Refer to your School's website or handbook for other requirements.
Upon approval of your thesis submission, please complete the mug collection form and send it to GRS via askUWA or complete it in person to collect your red/blue mug from the Graduate Research School (GRS). Our reception hours are weekdays 9 am to 4.30pm.
