If you are a full-time or part-time postgraduate research (PGR) student and are twelve months or less away from submitting your thesis for examination and no longer using specialist University equipment (such as labs), you may be eligible to request to transfer to completing status. By transferring to completing status, you will be eligible for a lower tuition fee rate.
Transferring to completing status is not automatic and you need to make a request to transfer to completing status. You can do this by submitting the online form within your Surrey Self-Service Research Programme record under the “Requests” tab. For practical guidance on how to do this, you can view the “How to submit a new request (change of registration)” document on our Useful documents page.
You can also find details of the reduced fees on our Completing status page.
If you have any questions about the completing status, you can email the Research Degrees Programme Management team at researchdegrees@surrey.ac.uk
