4SAMPLE EXTRACT FROM A COMPLETION PLAN
Please note that this is a sample only, not a form or template - please do not sign and return it.
Please construct your own plan and sign that.
The Completion Plan is a detailed timeline for the completion of tasks that remain in order to finalise the thesis. It should include
a brief description of any strategies that will be employed to overcome logistical or other barriers. The Completion Plan is
negotiated between the student and their supervisor/s and detailing the actions required by all parties to reach the point of
submitting a thesis for examination.
The Completion Plan is essentially an agreement between the student and the supervisor/s. It is lodged with the Graduate
Research School as evidence that the parties have discussed and developed strategies and actions, and now have an agreed,
realistic timeline for ensuring that the thesis is finished within the time stipulated.
Key points to note when compiling an effective Completion Plan:
The Completion Plan must be negotiated between the student and the supervisor/s.
The Completion Plan must take realistic account of any factors that might influence progress (e.g. one or more parties
being away or having heavy commitments at particular times, limited availability of required material or resources, etc.)
