<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As you are aware, we are approaching the deadline for awards to be approved ahead of summer graduations. In order for PhD candidates* to graduate, they must have completed the PG Cert RPD, which means all five essays
must be reviewed by both their supervisor and one of our team. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">To facilitate the graduation of PhD candidates who intend to graduate this summer but have not yet completed the requirements for the PG Cert RPD, we have set aside some time outside of our usual cycle to review essays
and return marks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">If there are any PhD candidates in your department/school who are intending to graduate this summer, but have not yet had all their essays reviewed, please let me know by Tuesday 17 May 9am at the latest. If you are unsure
of the PG Cert RPD status of any soon to graduate students, then please get in touch and I can let you know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Supervisors of these students now have until Tuesday 24 May to mark any outstanding essays to give us time to review them and return any late marks before the deadline given to us by Student Business. The essays are still
subject to the marking criteria, so we cannot guarantee that students with late submissions will meet the requirements of the PG Cert RPD in time for summer graduation. Please communicate this to any supervisors of soon to graduate PhD students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Any PG Cert RPD essays belonging to students who are not intending to graduate this summer will be reviewed in the usual cycle. We publish the dates for the cycle
