Transfer to CRS
Before a student can be transferred to CRS they must:
- have completed 3 years of full time PhD study (or 5 years part-time);
- have had a transfer viva and been upgraded from MPhil to PhD;
- have completed all relevant sections of the Research Log.
If the above three criteria have been fulfilled the following should be done:
- You should notify the Postgraduate Administrator that you want to transfer your student to CRS status.
- The student should submit a Table of Contents (TOC)/time schedule, showing how much of the thesis has been completed, and how much work remains. NB: The remaining work has to be achieved in 12 months or less if previously registered as a full-time student (within 24 months if you have been part-time for at least one year prior to requesting to transfer to CRS). The student must make sure that the timeschedule outlines a month-by-month breakdown of what work will be done in order to complete the thesis within the required time. This time plan has to be signed by you as supervisor.
- You need to then complete the Transfer to CRS Form.
- The completed, signed ToC/time plan and Transfer to CRS form then have to be passed on to the Postgraduate Administrator, for the Graduate Tutor's final approval.
- Once approved, the Postgraduate Administrator notifies Registry and Academic Services of the student's transfer to CRS.
