As per graduate guidelines, once a student successfully passes the Candidacy Exam, they are required to meet annually with their Graduate Research Committee (GRC) to discuss their research progress and degree completion plan. While a formal meeting is not mandatory, either you or a committee member may request one at any time, as needed. In any case, Students must complete the graduate progress form annually by the end of the first full Spring semester (last day of classes) following Candidacy.
This review covers the past year and outlines the next six months of the PhD program. A copy of the completed form will be sent to your committee. The response to the questionnaire and any committee feedback will be saved in your file and available to you and your committee. The form is crucial for assessing your progress toward graduation. A reminder will be sent each spring semester.
