When it comes to finishing your master’s dissertation or doctoral thesis, have the following in mind:

• At least two months before the final application for review, submit a notice of intention to resexcoord@unisa.ac.za. For this, you’ll need to download the CGS20 form.
• You must meet with your boss before notifying the university of your planned submission to secure approval for submission and to decide on the final proper grammar, pronunciation, and punctuation of the title. Make sure your dissertation/thesis was sent to Turnitin online (for originality checking) and save the one-page digital receipt (not the whole report) to use in your examination copy. If you have any questions, please email turnitin@unisa.ac.za.
• There is no deadline for submissions, although if they are sent after June 15, the outstanding student will only be able to graduate in the autumn of the following year.
• If the application is submitted after November 15, the effective student will only be able to graduate in the spring of the next year.
• If the application is sent after the 31st of January, the good student will receive their diploma in the spring. You would have to re-register and pay full tuition fees if the January deadline is not reached. Please notice that any application made at this time without advance warning (2 months) would be considered late, resulting in mandatory re-registration.
