Where do I go to submit a candidature request?
You can view all candidature requests under Higher Degree by Research at my.uq.edu.au. Review the relevant information, prepare any supporting documentation, then select the request you wish to submit.
Log in to your my.UQ Dashboard using your student username and password if required.*
*Your student username will start with an “s” and is followed by the first 7 digits of your student number. If you do not log in with your student username you will not be able to view your candidature requests.
Each new request will show a snapshot of your candidature details.
Then there will be important policy information and instructions relevant to your request.
You can provide additional comments and supporting documentation if you need to. After attaching a document, select the document type.
Your request will now appear in your "Active" request tab in the "My Requests" section of my.UQ.
Here you can see the status of your request as well as your request ID and a link to view the details of your request.
Your request will route to your Principal Advisor for endorsement, the Director of HDR in your enrolling unit School/Institute, then to the Graduate School for review and approval.
If further information is required from you, the request may be assigned back to you for action.
When your request is approved/rejected/cancelled you will receive an email notification. You will then be able to see the request in the "Completed" section of My Requests in my.UQ.
