Candidature Management Portal update - May 2017

28 Apr 2017

Roadshow
my.UQ Candidature Management Portal
10am 3 May

The development team has been working hard to increase information available to students in the my.UQ portal. When logging in students now receive a snapshot of their candidature with advisor, milestone, scholarship, leave and thesis details. They also have access to four more fully-online requests; Notification of Remote Status, Withdrawal from Candidature, Change of Academic Load, and Change of Thesis Title.  To learn more about the developments that have taken place in stage 2 and take a sneak peak at the portal from the student side be sure to register for our information session on 3 May.  

Work will continue in the coming weeks to finalise the remainder of Stage 2 development work and the team will begin to prioritise work for stage 3 of the project.
