Viva Report

F

I had my viva 5 weeks ago today and still haven't received my viva report back. I - supposedly - passed with major corrections but am yet to have that confirmed in print. I need to get working on the corrections ASAP in order to complete them by the end of the summer and hopefully start a full-time lectureship in September. I have been chasing the report as much as I can but admin keep brushing me off and my supervisor has told me to stop asking for it. I was wondering how long any of you have had to wait for a viva report if you've been in this position? Also, has anyone contested their viva report? I don't think there's much I can do but from what I remember of the blurred and growing distant memory of my viva, my examiners wanted my thesis to go in a very different direction. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

anz07, I got mine within a day but there's people on here who had to wait months I think. It's a tough one to know whether to chase it or stop. The main thing is you have passed. I'm guessing the Christmas break probably interrupted things in your case but still in my humble opinion they should have had it to you by now. Maybe someone else can better advise. Just wish you strength and support - I went through major corrections too. It sucks but you will get there.

No, that's not normal at all. A report should not take more than a couple of days, a week at a push, to reach you. Chase it up now, it is your right. Make a complaint to Grad School. Now.
