Evaluation of Progress
In the Spring semester, the progress of all graduate students will be reviewed, except those students on leave of absence or those that have had a recent “degree check” completed by the Graduate Chair. The “Spring Review” requires students to consult with their advisors who will report to the Graduate Chair. The report will consist of an up to date Synopsis of Program together with a brief statement by the advisor. This is a way of making sure that students are progressing satisfactorily and is useful for recognizing and solving problems before they become serious. In some cases, however, the Graduate Chair may consider that further action needs to be taken and the file will be referred to the GPC who may, if the student’s performance is deficient, place the student on departmental probation. Students should refer to the Guide to Progress below for further details on the ideal path of progress through the program.
