Time limits and extensions

Information and guidance on how to apply for an extension to your time limit.

The University’s expectation is that projects should be undertaken that can be fully completed and submitted within the student’s tuition fee-paying period (normal period of registration). This includes the necessary training, preparatory work, actual research and writing of a thesis. This expectation should be clearly understood by students, supervisors and departments from the very beginning of their studies, so that the student’s research is planned accordingly to ensure that they submit within their fee-paying period.

In addition, regular and effective monitoring of progress milestones by supervisors and departments throughout the programme of research should ensure that students are able to submit their thesis on schedule.

If a student reaches their time limit and has not yet submitted, their registration status will automatically lapse and they may be withdrawn from the University and not be permitted to submit their thesis. If a student tries to submit their thesis after their time limit has expired, even if it is by one day or less, they will be required to apply for an extension and no further action will be taken regarding the submitted thesis until an extension request has been received and approved by the faculty.

A student may apply for an extension to their time limit, but should note that extensions are only granted in truly exceptional circumstances . Under no circumstances should a student be led to believe that they will automatically be granted an extension to their time limit.

Students must apply for time limit extensions between a minimum of one and a maximum of three months before their current time limit expires. Students who apply close to their time limit may not be able to submit their thesis if their extension request is rejected. Extension requests that are received more than three months before the student's current time limit cannot be considered, as it will not be possible to accurately gauge how long they need if an application is submitted too far in advance.  

Where exceptional circumstances apply, the maximum amount of time limit extension that can normally be granted is two years . Individual and/or cumulative requests for extensions that exceed 12 months (non-Covid) or 18 months (with Covid) will be referred to the Special Cases Committee for consideration.  Faculties may grant a shorter extension than the student has initially requested, with any further extensions contingent on evidence that progress has been made during the initial extension.

Extensions should only be considered in response to unforeseeable circumstances that occur that are beyond the control of an individual PGR student, and that adversely affect the student’s ability to submit within the expected time limit. There is no guarantee that a time limit extension will be approved, especially if the circumstances could have been mitigated at an earlier stage, for example by applying for a leave of absence, or by the student modifying their research to enable a doctoral level outcome.

Examples that could constitute truly exceptional circumstances warranting consideration of a time limit extension are as follows:

• Delays in progress due to unforeseeable problems with the degree programme and/or working environment (e.g. moving of offices/buildings, change of supervisor etc.) which are outside of the student’s control. The problem must be reported to the appropriate department at the time it occurs, or as soon as possible thereafter (i.e. within one month), to enable appropriate remedies to be sought before extensions become necessary
• Unavailability or breakdown of essential equipment for an extended period, where a student is unable to continue research and the use of alternative equipment or methodologies is not possible

Where the student encounters difficulties (such as equipment failure) at an early stage of the research project, the expectation is that the student should make every reasonable effort to make up any lost time. Difficulties should be documented and reported so that should the student need to apply for an extension closer to their submission deadline there is evidence to support such a request.

In addition, there are a range of circumstances that would normally be considered appropriate for a student to apply for a leave of absence (LOA) rather than a time limit extension. Please refer to the leave of absence page for further details.

Examples of circumstances where an extension would not normally be considered appropriate are:

• To enable the student to undertake further active/core research and/or other activities that are not directly related to the completion of their thesis.
• To enable the student to undertake non-research activities such as teaching or conference attendance.
• Where there is a history of poor academic progress or lack of engagement.
• To improve the standard of written English in the thesis, or because the thesis requires proofreading.
• Because of paid employment where the request is based on pressures of work.
• Where the student is registered concurrently for more than one degree and the request is based on other commitments relating to the other degree. (Note: approval is also required for a student to be registered for two degrees concurrently).
• Inadequate planning and time management, e.g. where the student has failed to allow sufficient/reasonable time for a supervisor to consider the final draft of the thesis prior to the deadline, or for an external sponsor to approve a final draft of the thesis.
• As a result of holidays, sport, moving to a new house, marriage/honeymoon, or other events that were planned or could reasonably have been expected.
• Where the student has regular and ongoing caring responsibilities.
• Computer or other equipment failure or theft where use of an alternative is possible, or loss of work was avoidable.
• Lack of sufficient funds to complete the degree.
• Lack of awareness of the correct policy and application procedures for requesting an extension.

In terms of requests for additional time due to holidays and weddings/honeymoon, the University's expectation is that this should be taken from the student’s holiday entitlement. Research students sponsored by UKRI may, subject to the agreement of their supervisors, take reasonable holidays, not exceeding 30 days, excluding bank holidays and closure days. Up to a maximum of four weeks’ holiday may be taken at the end of the period of award. These UKRI rules may be used as a guide by all full-time research students not subject to the rules of other sponsoring bodies.

Additional guidance on extension requests due to Covid-19

It is recognised that the Covid-19 pandemic has seriously affected students’ abilities to complete their research to their original plans. The University’s guidance throughout has been that students and supervisors should work together to identify ways in which to maintain progress and, wherever possible, to take appropriate steps to adjust plans to mitigate the impact of Covid-related restrictions, for example, by making changes to the scope of the research project or rescheduling activities. This has also been the advice from UKRI . Where this has not been possible, students have been able to apply for leave of absence.

Students have been encouraged to focus on achieving the requirements for a doctoral degree. The Quality Assurance Agency issued sector guidance in response to the pandemic to reassure students that the outcome of a doctoral submission would be based on core criteria and that the focus is on quality, rather than quantity.

It was further recommended that supervisors should keep a detailed record of the type and duration of impact the restrictions have had on each of their students’ research projects and the extent to which any mitigation was achieved.

At the point of thesis submission, students have the option to provide further details to their examiners to explain the impact and changes made via a 'Covid Impact form'.

In addition to the above guidance, additional funding has been made available by the University, UKRI and Research England for students to apply for additional stipend payments and a fee-free extension to their tuition fee-paying period, depending on their personal circumstances and how far into their degree they were when Covid restrictions commenced.

Nevertheless, it is understood that not all students will have been able to successfully mitigate the impact of Covid-19 to achieve the requirements for a doctoral degree to enable them to submit within their tuition fee-paying period, or possibly even their time limit. Where students request a time limit extension based on Covid impact to complete their research project, cases will be carefully considered and treated sympathetically.

When applying for an extension to their time limit, students will be expected to provide information on the extent to which they were able to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on their project, and whether or not they have been successful in applying for additional stipend/fee extension funding. Students will be expected to clearly demonstrate how they would use the requested extension period effectively in order to complete the writing of their thesis and submit by the revised deadline.

Extensions will only be considered for the purpose of completing the thesis and not for the completion of any publications that do not form part of the thesis.

Application process

To apply for an extension a student must complete the Time Limit Extension (PGR) form and the application will be considered on its merits by the student's department and then the appropriate faculty. The student must clearly state the reason why they have failed to submit on time and demonstrate how they would use the requested extension period effectively to complete the writing of their thesis and submit by the revised deadline.

Students should provide this information as a Gantt chart to illustrate the schedule of work to be undertaken. The student's supervisor and department must decide whether they support the student's application and must state the reasons for their decision on the form. 

All extension applications are considered by the relevant faculty, which may support or reject the application.  Individual or cumulative requests for time limit extensions that exceed 12 months (non-Covid) or 18 months (with Covid) will be referred to the Special Cases Committee for consideration.  Limits to both LOAs and time limit extensions apply equally to students regardless of their mode of attendance. The Special Cases Committee will consider the feasibility of the student’s request, taking into consideration whether the request is supported by the student’s department, the continued viability of the student’s research and the likelihood of a successful submission.

The Committee may request additional information, where required, to help them reach an informed decision, e.g. an evaluation of the student’s progress to-date and a thesis plan.  It should be noted that the Special Cases Committee meets once per month; therefore requests for time limit extensions requiring consideration by the Special Cases Committee will take longer to consider and students should be aware that they may not be notified of the outcome of their request for several weeks.

If an extension application is rejected by the faculty and/or Special Cases Committee the student will not be permitted to continue their degree beyond their current time limit and will be withdrawn unless they submit before their time limit.

If an extension application is marked as a final extension and the student does not submit their thesis by the deadline they will automatically be withdrawn and will not be permitted to submit their thesis after this date.

Students are responsible  for checking whether an extension application will have an impact on professional, disciplinary, or sponsor-related requirements that they may have. Sponsored students should check first with their sponsor before applying for an extension.

An extension fee is charged for any period of extension that is granted beyond a student’s initial time limit. The level of this fee is increased annually. Please see ' Registration and fees ' for further details. Extension fees are loaded on a student’s record when the extension request is approved and will then become immediately due for payment.

It is not University policy to waive fees that have been incurred as a result of an extension to a student’s registration period, as forward planning and time management are considered important qualities of doctoral researchers.

Extensions for international students

In addition to the above guidance, international students who consider applying for an extension to their time limit and who are studying in the UK subject to immigration regulations, i.e. those on a Student or Tier 4 student visa, should explore whether they will also need to extend their visa and whether there are any ATAS implications (see below).

Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS)

If a student’s time limit is extended by more than three months, and they are studying a course that requires ATAS, they may need to submit a new application for ATAS clearance. This affects most students who are subject to immigration regulations, and not just those with a Student or Tier 4 visa. Therefore, although students in a non-Student or Tier 4 visa category that are subject to the ATAS requirement may not need an ATAS certificate for their visa application, they may need to apply for clearance for the purposes of their time limit extension.

Students who are not nationals of countries listed as exempt from ATAS in Appendix ATAS of the Immigration Rules who wish to extend their permission as a student in the UK for some research degrees will require ATAS clearance before they apply to extend their visa. Visa applications made without valid ATAS clearance in cases where this applies will be refused. Students who require ATAS clearance will need to ask their supervisor for a summary which confirms details about their research, which can be used to make an online application.

Students should contact International Student Support, Advice & Compliance for further information and guidance on the implications of applying for an extension, or refer to the SSiD  web pages for international students.

Students can check whether they will require an ATAS certificate by providing course and nationality details on the GOV.UK site .

Added to basket! View your new Officers for 2024-25 Advice And Support Academic Appeals Postgrad Research Academic Appeals Postgraduate Research The University has updated its forms to be completed online rather than in document form. We are working to update these pages to align with the new forms and provide a document version so that you can create a draft that could be checked by our advisers. If you disagree with the University’s assessment of your research, whether it be your viva, confirmation review, thesis submission or downgrade decision; you have the right to appeal against that decision if you meet a ground for appeal. In the first instance we would advise you to consult your Supervisor, Postgraduate Research Tutor or Head of Department to see if your concerns can be resolved informally. If this does not work you have the option of formally appealing under the University's Academic Appeal Regulations. The regulations apply to the following: Upgrade / downgrade decision Assessed coursework Confirmation review Departmental action for academic misconduct An appeal must be made within 30 working days of publication of results. If for valid reason you require more time to submit your appeal, you should email the Student Engagement and Progress Team on [email protected] before the deadline to ask for more time. Include your department and registration number in the subject field and explain why you need more time. If more than 30 working days have passed since the publication of results, you will need to use the Late Submission Form to request permission to have your academic appeal considered late. You should explain the reasons for this and provide any evidence you are referring to You may find it useful to first read the University's Code of Practice for Research Degree Programmes which contains information on; change of candidature, upgrades, confirmation reviews and academic progress. If your result has meant that there has been a change of candidature (eg to MPhil), then this status remains until your appeal is accepted and any subsequest conditions are met, eg passing of viva/confirmation review. Find out more about postgraduate research student academic appeals Grounds for appeal How to appeal, how to complete the appeal form, advice related to specific appeal grounds, what happens once you have submitted your appeal, what happens if you are not satisfied with the outcome of the appeal, oia (office of the independant adjudicator). It is important to remember that you cannot appeal on the grounds of academic judgement, i.e. you think your work deserved a better result, for example if you disagree with the examiners opinions. You have grounds for an appeal if: You can show that there has been negligence or misconduct by an examiner. You can show there has been a procedural error by the examiner, or an error in the recording, transcription or reporting of your results i.e. human error in giving the wrong result to the Examination Board. You can show there have been extenuating circumstances which you could not, or felt unable to declare to the University earlier, for a valid reason. You can show that supervision problems seriously affected your performance. In this case you also need to explain why you were unable to report or resolve the problems before the exam, viva or thesis submission informally with the department or via the University Complaints Procedure. Where you have been found to have used unfair means in an assessment and disagree with the penalty imposed by the department. Your appeal should be made in writing using the standard University Academic Appeals form . The form should be submitted by email with the evidence to [email protected] within 15 working days of the formal publication of results. If you are appealing the results of a confirmation review or PhD viva/re-examination, the date would be that on the formal notification letter that you receive from the Research Services. Here is quick guide, including screen shots and tips to help you fill in the Academic Appeals form. You need to explain exactly what happened and why you consider this to be negligence or misconduct. You need address whether you discussed it with anyone in your department/ supervisor to try and see if it can be resolved and what the outcome of that was (include any evidence of meetings of minutes, emails etc). If you did not discuss these issues with your department / supervisor, you need to explain why. Please note; you need to ensure that your basis for this ground is not questioning academic judgment. For example, if you feel the examiner was not knowledgeable in your field or you disagree with their comments. You need to explain what the procedural error was, and evidence of this; whether you discussed it with your department to try and resolve it, if not why not. Again you need to ensure that your basis for this ground is not questioning academic judgment; for example, if you disagree with the examiners comments. You first need to clearly explain what the extenuating circumstances were and how they affected your performance. If your extenuating circumstances were medical reasons, then you would need medical evidence confirming what the circumstances were and for the doctor to confirm that they would have impacted your performance in the assessment. If you are a patient of the University Health Service, the doctor would usually expect you to request this evidence on a medical extenuating circumstances form . Alternatively they may be willing to provide you with a letter. Please note; if you have been seeing another health professional such as a counsellor, specialist nurse, consultant, you should provide a letter from them. The next point you need to address for this ground, is why you were unable to present these circumstances to the department or examiner earlier, usually via extenuating circumstances form. You would need to explain the nature of the supervision problemsand explain how you feel it directly contributed to your performance in the assessment. If it has been an going issue, it is advisable to do a timeline or chronology of events detailing issues, and what you have been trying to do to resolve them along the way, e.g. meetings with supervisory team, postgraduate tutor or head of department, and the outcome of these. It is recommded to include any email evidence, feedback sheets, minutes of meeting, annual progress reports etc, to evidence your claims. You also need to address why you were unable to resolve this issue earlier eg through the Postgraduate tutor or head of department, or why you were unable to submit a complaint via the University Complaints Procedure prior to the assessment. You would need to explain why you believe the penalty/ action was unfair / unreasonable in your situation. If you have any extenuating circumstances related to this, please ensure you state them and provide evidence. Please note: under this ground, the faculty officer has the power to; uphold your appeal; reject your appeal; or impose a different penalty/action. The Student Administration Service will confirm in writing that your appeal has been received and is being dealt with, usually by email. Your department will receive a copy of your appeal and be asked to comment on it. Your appeal and this response are then considered by a Faculty Officer (Pro-Vice Chancellor or his/her nominee). The Faculty Officer can make a decision to uphold or reject your appeal. Usually you would receive a written response (which should include your departments comments) within about a month, but it can take longer in busy periods or more complicated cases. If the Faculty Officer decides your appeal needs more in-depth consideration, he/she may refer it to Faculty Academic Appeals Committee (FAAC) for full investigation and decision. If this happens you would be given the opportunity to submit further evidence. If your appeal goes to FAAC you can choose to attend a hearing, or opt for it to be dealt with in writing. It is generally advisable to attend this hearing, so that you can take part in discussions about your appeal and answer questions that arise. The Student Advice Centre can help you prepare for the FAAC and accompany you to the hearing to speak on your behalf. You will be notified in writing of the outcome of your appeal with an explanation of the decision. Your academic department will have responded and provided written comments in response to the appeal. Usually a copy of those comments is sent to the student at the time the decision is notified. If you are not satisfied with the decision of your academic appeal, you have the right to request a Case Review (which comes under the University Complaints Procedure ), if your case comes under at least one of the following grounds: There was a material procedural irregularity which rendered the process leading to the decision taken in respect of the academic appeal unfair. Material which the student could not reasonably have been expected to produce at the time of the decision taken in respect of the academic appeal casts substantial doubt upon the appropriateness of that decision. The decision taken in respect of the academic appeal was manifestly unreasonable. The request for a Case Review must be made within 10 working days of the full written response provided in relation to the academic appeal. If you need longer than this you must contact the Student Contact and Appeals team ( [email protected] ) and request an extension detailing the reasons. This will then be passed to a Pro-Vice-Chancellor, or their representative, who can decide to extend this time limit. Case Reviews requests should be submitted using the Case Review form . The request will be considered by a Pro-Vice-Chancellor, or their nominee, who can decide: To uphold the complaint. To establish a Case Review Panel, which would usually give you the opportunity to attend a meeting and present your case to the panel, with a representative, should you wish. The Student Advice Centre is usually able to represent students at these meetings depending on staffing capacity).The case review panel would consist of; the chair (which would be a Pro-Vice-Chancellor or their representative), a Faculty Officer or representative (not from your Faculty), and another member which is usually a Sabbatical Officer from the Students' Union. Papers would be circulated prior to the meeting, which consist of your academic appeal, departmental response and you would usually be given the opportunity to submit a further statement or evidence should it be deemed necessary. To refer the matter to be considered under another University procedure, such as back to the Academic Appeals procedure to have an academic appeals committee to be set up. That there are insufficient grounds to take further action, thereby concluding the matter at this stage. Usually where a department has responded and provide written comments in response to the request for a case review, a copy of those comments will be sent to the student at the time the decision is notified. The University's Procedures for the Conduct of Academic Appeals stipulates that the University aims to deal with Academic Appeals including any subsequent Case Review Request within 90 days of receipt of the Academic Appeal. If this is not possible you should be kept informed on the progress of your case. It is advisable to use the Word version of the Case Review Request form, and type your appeal, so that sections can be expanded and changes can be made easily. Section A: Personal Details Section B: You need to tick the ground you believe your case comes into. You need to give an explanation of why you disagree with the decision of the formal complaint based on the case review ground you are applying under, and reasoning in the decision letter: Grounds for case review There was a material procedural irregularity which rendered the process leading to the decision taken in respect of the academic appeal unfair; For this ground you would have to demonstrate that there was something incorrect in the academic appeals procedure which would have made the decision unfair, for example if a person closely linked to the academic appeal or from the department considered the academic appeal, or if it was clear from the decision letter that a significant piece of evidence submitted had not be considered because it seems to have been overlooked. These are just examples and are not to base your request on. If you are unsure whether your situation meets this grounds you can speak to an academic adviser at the Student Advice Centre to seek clarification. Material which the student could not reasonably have been expected to produce at the time of the decision taken in respect of the academic appeal casts substantial doubt upon the appropriateness of that decision; This would have to be significant evidence that would have likely led to a different decision being made in the academic appeal, and you need explain why you were unable to provide it with the formal complaint. You need to set out the reasons why you believe the decision given in the academic appeal was extremely unreasonable. You should refer to points in the decision letter when explaining this. Section C: You need to enclose a copy of your academic appeal and the evidence submitted, including any additional new evidence you wish to submit for your case review. If a solicitor or adviser from the Student Advice Centre has assisted you, you may put their details in the representative box. Please note: you may only use the Student Advice Centre representative’s name if we have seen and fed back on your form before you submit. Section D: Please detail the outcome that you would like, taking into consideration anything that has already been resolved at earlier stages. Section E: You may type your name or enter an electronic signature. Once the form and evidence are ready you need to submit it to [email protected] within 10 working days of the date of the academic appeal decision letter. The Case Review stage is the last stage of the University’s internal appeals procedure. The University’s Procedures for the Conduct of Academic Appeals stipulate that the University aims to deal with Academic Appeals including any subsequent Case Review Request within 90 days of receipt of the Academic Appeal. If this is not possible you should be kept informed on the progress of your case. If you remain unsatisfied after completing the University’s internal appeals procedure, you may be able to make a complaint to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA). The OIA is an independent review scheme and forms no part of the University's review or appeal procedures. You have 12 months from the Case Review decision letter to make a complaint to the OIA. Before you go to the OIA you must have concluded the university complaints procedure. Further details on the OIA, their complaints process and how to apply can be found on their website. You may also find the following direct links useful: Making a complaint to the OIA . Eligibility guidance for complaints the OIA will look at . Complaints the OIA will not consider .
