What is thesis awaited status?
Also referred to as writing up, it is the period of time, normally following the end of the minimum period of study, when a postgraduate researcher has completed their primary area of research.
Subject to satisfactory progress, under normal circumstances, a postgraduate researcher should move into thesis awaited status at the end of their minimum period of registration.
If a postgraduate researcher’s period of normal registration is extended beyond the end of the minimum period of registration (further fees will be payable), the end of the maximum period of registration is not affected and as a result the period available for “writing up” status is reduced.
