Travel related to your research
If you need to study more than 50kms from your main campus--such as attend a conference or field trip--you must notify your College /School and check that you are covered by the University's insurance policy. Further information about travel forms should be sought from your College/School well before your proposed travel.
Please note that the approval procedures for HDR candidature/scholarship extension requests have been changed from today on in accordance with the University’s HDR policies and procedures.
The new procedures:
- All HDR candidature extension requests beyond the maximum study period must be submitted to the Research Committee (RC) for review and possible approval.
- Requests for a 6-month extension of RTP scholarships beyond the maximum period should be submitted to DGS for review and possible approval.
- All scholarship extension requests beyond the maximum allowable must be submitted to RTC for review. However, please be aware that these extensions are usually not permitted unless extraordinary events preclude candidates from progressing their research.
All requests should be submitted to the CDU-HDR team (Research.Degrees@cdu.edu.au) at least two (2) weeks before the RC meeting, along with all necessary supporting evidence and college endorsement.
