Thesis Examination FAQ's
- The thesis examination workflow cannot progress without examiner details.
- The Primary Advisor needs to complete the Nomination of Examiners form for GRS to send candidate thesis to the Examiners.
- The thesis examination process will be placed on hold until examiner information has been provided.
- No. Students receive examiner reports before the oral.
- Examiner feedback is discussed during the oral examination.
- Revisions are completed after the oral process if still required.
- The advisory panel does not participate in the oral examination.
- Advisors may be invited to attend, but they do not take part in the assessment discussions.
- The thesis first goes to the Primary Advisor for review.
- Once approved, GRS manages examiner engagement.
- Examiners formally have six weeks to review.
- Extensions are common.
- Students should allow approximately 8-10 weeks for examiner reports.
- Students should generally not follow up before the 10-week mark because GRS is usually waiting on examiners.
