Write up my thesis away from my usual study location

Your Enrolment Verification confirms your usual study location (internal and campus/ external).

You may apply to ‘write up the thesis away’ (external status) if you:

are relocating outside of South Australia / away from your usual study location
have completed all experimental work
no longer require physical access to the University's resources (other than consulting supervisors), and
have completed the research required to write the first draft of the thesis.

How to prepare

read Higher Degrees by Research Policy Section 4.6.
read HDR Admission and Enrolment Procedures Section 6.
consult your supervisor (you may still apply if they disagree).
organise evidence to support your request.
ensure your milestones are up to date before applying
confirm your contact and candidature details in the Student Information System.

To confirm your location requirement, contact scholarships@flinders.edu.au. If this application is approved, you must inform Student Finance Services.

International students on a student visa

Making this change will affect your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and the University is required to inform the Department of Home Affairs of your decision which may have implications for your current visa. If you have questions, please contact internationalcompliance@flinders.edu.au.

How to apply

Complete the request online in Inspire and submit it at least four weeks before the proposed change (except in the case of illness).
If you submit your application after the census date it may affect your Research Training Program (RTP) fee offset or international tuition fees.
The Office of Graduate Research will notify you of the outcome via your Flinders email address.
