All requests for extensions to a Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship, RTP or URTS fee waiver, or HDR candidature will now go to the Research Committee Extensions Working Party. 

TIMING:

All extension requests should be submitted using the request form above 2 - 3 months before your stipend or candidature ends. 

International fee waiver extension requests should be submitted 2-3 months before the census date for that semester (census dates are 31 March for semester 1 and 31 August for semester 2).

The request form needs to be approved by your supervisor and the Faculty ADRRT by the deadline. Please allow 2-3 days for supervisor and Faculty sign off.

EVIDENCE:

Please be aware that extensions are usually not permitted unless a student can demonstrate that more than two thirds of their research project is complete AND extraordinary events have precluded the candidate from progressing their research. 

**Extension requests must now be accompanied by a (consolidated) copy of your draft thesis and related iThenticate report We also require a clear timeline of what has already been achieved and what is yet to be achieved. Please see timeline for the template above**

Also note that all HDR students enrolled on 31 March 2020 have already received a 6-month RTP COVID- extension and no further stipend extensions for those students will be considered unless there are exceptional circumstances. 

If students are experiencing delays in their research, they should discuss this with their supervisors, Faculty HDR support staff or the Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) as soon as possible. A list of the supports available for HDR students can be found here. 

To request an extension, please submit the above Extension request form, along with all necessary supporting evidence and endorsements.
