Student Handbook

Progress Report

Annual progress reports are required for all graduate students each year. These reports are used to decide which students to submit for fellowships, training grant slots, or other preferred support. They are also used to keep your committee informed of your progress during the previous year. Forms for the report are distributed by the DGS each spring. The Chair of your committee will be asked to evaluate your progress, show you his/her evaluation and discuss it with you, then give it to you to sign and turn in with your completed progress report form. These will be added to your file and a copy will be given to your committee members.

Students are evaluated each year at a Field meeting held in May. Progress reports, teaching evaluations, rotation evaluations and progress towards degree completion are all considered. Results of the evaluation are communicated to all students by the DGS.
