Degree completion and conferment

If your examination outcome is “pass, subject to minor amendments,” you must complete the required changes and have them approved by your supervisor before making your final deposit.

If your examination outcome did not include amendments, you may still make minor edits, such as formatting adjustments or small corrections, but your supervisor must review and approve the final version. This approval is arranged directly between you and your supervisor and is not completed through Panoho.

After you have deposited your thesis or portfolio, it is rare to be permitted to make any further changes. Any post‑deposit amendments require special approval from the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Research (FGR). Please ensure all revisions have been completed and approved before you deposit.

After depositing your thesis or portfolio in the Library, you must submit the Degree Completion form in Panoho.

The FGR Exams Team manually verifies the Degree Completion form against the Library receipt and uses this information to update your Student Record. This includes entering your final grade, confirming your award level, and marking your record as “degree complete.” Because this is a manual process completed during working hours, it may take a few business days—especially during peak periods.

Once the FGR Exams Team has received both your Library Deposit receipt and your Degree Completion form, they will update your Student Record and mark you as “degree complete.” After this, you can apply for conferment and graduation.

Submitting the Degree Completion form will generate your Completion Letter for download.

International students: If you plan to apply for a Post‑Study Work Visa, submit the Online Conferment Application form (see step 4 below) and then email the Graduation Office to request a “degree completion” letter (remember to include your name and student ID) as the Panoho letter does not include your conferment date.
