GRADUATE RESEARCH
A thesis has a lifecycle. Rize holds all of it.
From the first form to the final defence: the committee, the appointments, the evaluations and the documents. A supervisor knows where every candidate stands, and so does the office that will be asked.
WHY THIS EXISTS
Supervision runs on memory.
The forms live in a drawer, the committee was agreed in a meeting, and the candidate who has not been seen for a term is discovered when somebody asks a question that nobody can answer from a file.
WHAT IS IN IT
Everything this office has to stand behind.
The thesis forms
The sequence a candidate moves through, from the first annexure to the last, as a state rather than as paperwork.
The graduate examination committee
Assignment, members, and the change requests that follow when a member has to be replaced.
Appointments
Pre-examination and oral examination, scheduled and recorded.
Final defence
Evaluation against a template, with the lines each examiner completed.
Timeline activities
What is due, what is late, and what has been done, per candidate.
Documents and certificates
The thesis documents held with the record, and the certificate produced at the end of it.
Student projects
Undergraduate and taught-programme projects, tracked alongside.
THE BOUNDARY
It tracks the process. Your committee examines the work.
No evaluation is made by the system. The committee judges the thesis, the defence is conducted by people, and Rize holds who decided what, on which date, against which candidate.
THE LIVE DEMONSTRATION
Open a real registrar’s office.
Four departments run live at edu.tifaqm.com: admissions, finance, HR and academics. Sign in as a guest and open them as a registrar would. No form stands in front of it, and no one calls you afterwards.
