Doctoral thesis & continuous activities

THD 9999 & Continuous activities

Once you have enrolled for the first time in a continuing activity such as the comprehensive exam and/or thesis, you must maintain your enrolment until the activity is completed.

Enrolment to continuous activities:

Enrolment to comprehensive exam course is not automatic.
THD 9999: After your first (manual) enrolment to the thesis, all subsequent enrolments are automatic, unless you have a hold on your account, which will require that you manually enrol once you have arranged to have your hold lifted.

Time-limit:

Doctoral students have a maximum of 6 years to complete their program requirements.
