To request a variation to your candidature please complete the relevant variation form from the below list and obtain your Principal Supervisor's approval prior to submitting to Graduate Research.
Most variations must be received at Graduate Research at least two weeks prior to the census dates of 31 March (for semester 1) and 31 August (for semester 2) in order for them to take effect that semester. Once a variation form has been processed by Graduate Research, we will notify you and your supervisors via email. Please ensure your contact details are correct in myHub.
