Permanence

All doctoral students must submit their thesis to the academic commission before the permanence deadline, through the online thesis submission application, within the indicated timeframes. At the time of submission, the student must have an active enrolment for the corresponding academic year.

Students in their third year (full-time) or fifth year (part-time) who cannot submit their thesis before the indicated deadline may apply for an extension within the four months prior to that deadline. Students who exhaust their permanence and can no longer request further extensions will be permanently withdrawn from the programme if they do not submit their thesis to the academic commission within the indicated timeframes.
