Summer holiday 2025 at the Graduate School
General Information About Case Processing During the Summer
During July, case processing times will be longer due to staff holidays. This applies to all types of inquiries and includes:
general questions
nomination of the assessment committee
approval of the assessment committee
screening and pre-screening for duplicate text
cases to be reviewed by the Committee on Duplicate Text Screening
Delays can also be expected in connection with the assessment of the PhD thesis.
Specific Information about Nomination and Approval of the Assessment Committee
You may nominate your assessment committee in July. However, please note that July is not included when calculating assessment deadlines, pursuant to Section 18, Chapter 7 of the Ministerial Order on the PhD Programme.
This means that if July is included in the assessment period, the assessment committee will have three months to assess the thesis instead of the usual two months.
It is possible to set a deadline for the assessment in July if all parties involved agree.
