| Handing In Process: |
Dissertation: All completed dissertations are to be checked by the student's supervisor before
handing in. One unbound, staple-free copy is to be handed in to the Computer
Science Office (G.1.21) for copying, binding and examination. If the Dissertation
contains any colour printed pages, then an extra two copies of each colour
page will need to be handed in along with the completed Dissertation.
Once the dissertation has been bound the student may then pick up one copy for their personal library. Theses: All completed theses are to be checked by the student's supervisor before binding. The hand-in submission date for a thesis is the day the bound thesis is to be handed in by the student to the Assessment Office. Students MUST ALLOW ten working days for the thesis to be copied and bound before handing in to the Assessment Office. If the submission date falls on a weekend then the thesis must be handed in to the Assessment Office by 4pm on the Friday of that weekend. To get the thesis copied and bound, one staple-free copy is to be handed in to the Computer Science Office (G.1.21). If the thesis contains any colour printed pages, then an extra three copies of each colour page will need to be handed in along with the completed thesis. Once bound the student can then pick up their thesis and submit three copies to the Assessment Office, retaining the fourth copy for their personal library. Students need to complete the following forms to submit with their thesis:
Students are also required to submit a digital copy of their thesis to the Library. All University fees and fines must also be paid for the thesis to be examined. |
| FAQ: | How do I get a computer account? University computer accounts are created for students as soon as they are fully enrolled. Then the Computer Science department automatically gets the account details and creates an account on our own computers. Students can then log into the computers in their lab. How do I find out what my username and password are? Re-enrolled users have the same username and password as last year. If that doesn’t work then try last 8 digits of your barcode on your ID card. If that doesn’t work contact TSG Help. How do I get a swipe card for access to the building? How do I get a key for my lab? Can I do photocopying? What about web access? What about printing? Can I get pens, paper, and other stationary supplies? What if there are problems in my lab? What is the print format for my MSc thesis? When must I hand in my MSc thesis? You must hand in your bound MSc thesis to the Assessment office. Remember to allow at least ten days before the submission date for binding (see above). Extensions of up to three weeks may be granted by the Dean for valid reasons only. You will need to talk to your supervisor. |
