We are monitoring all examinations closely. Some examiners, depending on their local situation, are finding it difficult to respond within the usual timeframe but we will be making every effort to progress the examination process, including inviting an additional examiner if it looks like there will be an issue.
You can help reduce delays by ensuring the early nomination of examiners (after the completion of the thesis review milestone) and ensuring that your advisors have established that those they have nominated are willing and able to act as an examiner. The oral examination option has already proven to be very successful when conducted over Zoom, and these should not be delayed.
