The enrolment period may be extended by up to three months. An extension requires a motivation and an application must be submitted. The following apply in this situation:

During this period, the departments are responsible for ensuring that there are sufficient funds for examiners fees, printing of thesis etc.
-
The extension period does not require a contribution towards current expenses.
-
The PhD student’s salary and living expenses during the extension period are not covered by DTU.
-
If the extension period lapses without the thesis having been submitted, the PhD student will be informed that enrolment will cease.
In special cases, and subject to a motivated application to the head of the PhD school, a further extension – usually of up to six months in total – may be granted.
The application for extension must be approved by the principal advisor and the head of the PhD school and must be sent to the Office for PhD and Continuing Education.
