WELCOME TO THE TEM HELP PAGES
The Thesis Examination Management (TEM) online system provides direct access to information on research thesis submission and examination. As a student, academic or administrative staff member you can carry out administrative tasks and monitor the progress of the examination of your thesis or that of your students. These Help pages are divided into sections, each of which describes a different part of the thesis submission and examination process. Within each section there is a general description of the processes covered and a step-by-step guide for your role.
Gateways and Enquiries
In most cases you will have received an email prompting you to do a TEM-related task. This section of Help is designed to get you to the page where you carry out that task. The rest of the Help site can be accessed via the links at top and bottom of each Help page. This section also describes how to get to an enquiry screen.
On this page you can...
- Apply to have access to your final thesis copy restricted once it gets to the library. Please note that you only need to apply for restricted access if there is a need that can be supported by justification and the approval of your Supervisor and the University.
- Submit a notification of intention to submit your thesis by clicking on the 'Submit Notification' button . After submission the label on this button changes to 'View Thesis notification' and allows you to review the form you lodged.

Your Thesis
The goal of all higher degree research (HDR) programs is to write a thesis that demonstrates how you have made an original contribution to knowledge. While the task of writing a thesis can be daunting, there are several things you can do to stay on track and complete your thesis on time while producing your best work.
The Graduate Research School (GRS) runs two seminars that will help you prepare for your thesis submission:
Thesis Submission Seminar Outlines the submission and examination process
Using Publications in Your Thesis Seminar Examines how publications may be incorporated into your thesis, including how authorship is determined, and when to seek permission to use published work
The GRS also offers a weekly HDR writing group and a Thesis Writing Boot Camp to help you build a regular writing practice. For information on the seminars and events available, please visit this page .

Masters by Research and PhD theses
All Masters by Research and PhD students are required to submit the final and examined version of your Masters by Research or PhD thesis to UNSWorks prior to graduation.
For information on how to deposit your thesis to UNSWorks please see the Thesis Deposit Guide .
For information on the thesis submission and examination process please refer to advice for current candidates on the UNSW Graduate Research School site.
Honours theses are not eligible for deposit to UNSWorks.
UNSW researchers and HDR candidates are encouraged to deposit their dataset/s to their platform of choice and then publish a description of their dataset/s to UNSWorks to receive a DOI, link to funding and publications, and increase visibility of their research via Research Data Australia (RDA) and other aggregators. Small datasets (up to 5GB) can be published to UNSWorks.
For information on how to publish your dataset, please consult the Data Publishing Strategy Guide .
Publications
Text version
1. Log into ROS
2. Prepare deposit: upload your manuscript and select the correct version of your file
3. Add more information: select embargo period and license agreement
4. Complete deposit
Depositing an appropriate open access version of your research outputs into UNSWorks is also known as repository-based open access or self-archiving.
UNSW staff and students can deposit to UNSWorks via the Research Outputs System (ROS) . For non-traditional research outputs (NTROs), please see the NTRO decision and action tree for more information. Only copyright compliant versions of your work should be uploaded.
Not all publishers allow self-archiving, so it is important to check what is permitted before uploading a copy of your publication. SHERPA/RoMEO provides information on journal and publisher copyright and self-archiving policies.
Where publishers do permit deposit to a repository, often they allow only the author's accepted manuscript (post-print). Ensure you do not upload the final, published version unless permitted.
