MSc thesis GRADE REGISTRATION process :

STEP 1 : Supervisor requests a TRITA registration number from the responsible administrator . Request should include Student's and Supervisor's full names.

STEP 2 : When the registration number is received Supervisor sends out that number to the student.

STEP 3 : Student should insert the registration number on the Thesis cover page (2^nd page on the template (docx 82 kB) ), makes sure that the abstract of the thesis is both in Swedish and English separately and sends the very last version of the thesis in a pdf format to the Supervisor. PDF should be named as follows: Lastname Firstname Thesis registration number.pdf

STEP 4 : The Examiner sends the grade for the thesis work via email along with the final version of the thesis (containing abstract is in both English and Swedish and named as requested Lastname Firstname Thesis registration number.pdf ). The supervisor can do this step after the examiner’s approval.

Important : As grade reporting is a major step in the examining procedure, and as such a part of the authority decision (sv myndighetsbeslut) on grade, it is very important that the examiner reports the grade with all information clearly presented in the same email (one page):

• Name of the student
• Personal ID number
• TRITA number of the thesis
• Division at EGI (important step for registering in DIVA)
• Date of the grade
• Grade
• Names of the supervisor and examiner
• Latest title of the thesis (mandatory in English only, if the thesis is written in Swedish , both English and Swedish titles should be written here).
• PDF file of the final version of the thesis

For questions on the procedure please contact MSc thesis administrator .

STEP 5 : When the grade is registered in Ladok, Examiner will be notified of the grade to be attested (on the Homepage of Ladok 'to be attested' ) 

STEP 6 : Once the examiner attests the grade in Ladok it will be published for the student to see.

STEP 7 : A GRU administrator will publish the thesis final version in Diva unless there are special circumstances preventing such publication in accordance with the Rector’s decision. Matters related to confidentiality will have to be sorted out with the KTH Archive by the student or the Supervisor and inform the thesis administrator on how to proceed.
