Can I submit my thesis before I enter thesis awaited status?
In normal circumstances you are expected to submit your research thesis after the completion of your minimum period of study and before your maximum period of study. In exceptional circumstances, and with the approval of the Research Progress and Awards Sub Panel, postgraduate researchers may be permitted to submit their thesis before completing their minimum period of study.
