3.12 Final Review
3.12 Pre-submission seminar
From 1 January 2015, all milestones will be considered formal hurdle requirements, not just confirmation, as per the Graduate Research Progress Management Procedures coming into effect from that date.
Any student whose Pre-Submission Seminar is held on or after 1 January 2015 will be subject to the new Procedures, including the new panel constitution and formal hurdle requirement.
A formal hurdle requirement means that the student must satisfactorily achieve the requirements of the milestone in order to remain enrolled. A failure to meet the requirements of a milestone means that the student is deemed to be making unsatisfactory progress, as per the Graduate Research Progress Management Procedures.
Students are to refer to the Graduate Research Progress Management Procedures for details on the requirements of the Pre-Submission Seminar. Some students are exempt from undertaking this review – please refer to Section 1 of the Procedures for details.
Please note: Students are required to complete all program requirements prior to the Pre-Submission Seminar. See the Monash Doctoral Program website for more details.
