Annual Progress Report

The Candidacy Review Committee and the Graduate Division review the progress of the student each year in June. The student submits a short report describing the degree of completion of research, the tasks yet to be finished, and a projected schedule for completion to degree. The report is submitted to the CRC and must be signed by the research adviser, one other member of the dissertation committee, and the Head Graduate Adviser.

The purpose of the annual progress report is to enable the student to formally discuss his/her research progress with the adviser and a member of the thesis/dissertation committee. This annual review is part of the Graduate Council's efforts to shorten the time it takes to obtain a degree, and to improve the completion rate.
