Commitment document
The commitment document is a written agreement that establishes the framework for relations between the PhD student, the supervisor, the thesis tutor and the UAB, and the rights and duties of each.
Within a maximum of 3 months from the enrolment in doctoral studies, both students and their thesis supervisors draw up a commitment document setting out the conditions under which they will collaborate, the duties and work schedules of the student, the thesis supervisor and the thesis tutor, the system for resolving disputes, etc. This document is signed by the student, the thesis supervisor, the thesis tutor, and the programme coordinator.
Regarding the signing and custody of this document, an automatic email will be sent to the students' institutional address provided by the UAB (name.surname@autonoma.cat) so that they can proceed with the signature. Once signed by all involved parties, the document will be automatically archived in each student's academic record.
If the commitment document cannot be formally ratified for reasons attributable to the PhD student, admission and registration on the programme are invalidated, with no right to reimbursement of the registration fee.
