Completing Research Status (CRS) and Late Submission Fees for Research Students

If you are registered on CRS status and are unable to submit your thesis within the period allowed, you may apply for an extension provided you meet the strict criteria which apply. Only one extension is allowed.

The criteria are:

• Illness (your own, or that of your partner or close family)
• Maternity leave
• Full-time carer’s responsibilities
• Death of partner or close family
• Termination of employment/illness/death of principal supervisor or other academic circumstances outside your control.

Further guidance on extensions to CRS status is given at

http://www.ucl.ac.uk/current-students/services/studyinformation/crsextension

If you do not submit your thesis by the end of your period of CRS status, your registration as a student will end at that point. You will need to apply for permission to submit; your supervisor will need to support this request, in writing or by email, to the Student Centre in Registry and Academic Services (studentrecords@ucl.ac.uk) giving the reasons for your late submission and the date by which you will be ready to do so. If approved, you will be liable for the late submission fee as given in the table below.

You will be sent an invoice for the late submission fee once your thesis has been submitted. In all cases the result of your examination will be withheld until the payment has been made.
