Concurrent Registration
 

RPg students are normally not allowed to register simultaneously for another programme of study that leads to an award.

Any RPg student, who wishes to apply for concurrent registration in another programme of studies leading to an award from PolyU or elsewhere while registered as a candidate for an RPg degree at PolyU, must submit an application using Form AR38 to obtain prior exceptional written permission from the GSB via his/her Chief Supervisor and D/SRC. Failure to obtain the prior approval may lead to disciplinary action including discontinuation of study at PolyU.

It is important to note that an RPg student's registration in an RPg programme does not end on the date of thesis submission but on the date in which the Graduate School Board confirms the recommendations of the BoE for the award of the research degree.
