The Director,Postgraduate Research Studies, willdetermine whether a potential conflict ofinterest exists in relation to his/herconsideration of the appeal.

The Director, Postgraduate ResearchStudies, or appointee will decide whethera case exists and may seek the advice ofthe Faculty or school as appropriate. Theappeal may be allowed or dismissed. If anappeal is allowed, the Director,Postgraduate Research Studies, orappointee cannot recommend that thedegree be awarded but shall recommendthat the thesis be re-examined.
