Doctoral reporting milestones

Progress reports

Following completion of the Doctoral Confirmation Process, you must submit progress reports every six months. Reminders are sent before your report is due, and failure to complete progress reports may lead to termination of your enrolment. Please note it is your responsibility to remain an enrolled student throughout your studies, and you may not receive these reminders if you are not enrolled. 

Once you have completed the Doctoral progress report form, pass the form to your supervisor for their sign off.

This documentation is then assessed by the Dean of Postgraduate Research who evaluates your progress and makes the decision to either:

• Approve your continued enrolment
• Approve your continued enrolment under certain conditions (e.g., meeting certain milestones by certain dates)
• Discontinue your candidature

You will receive notification of the Dean’s decision, and if the decision is to continue enrolment under certain conditions or to discontinue your enrolment this will be discussed with you and your supervisors.

Reporting milestones

The relevant reporting milestones are detailed below. All forms for these can be found here. Please complete your section of the form and pass on to your supervisor. Once completed, the forms should be submitted as an email attachment to Te Kura Tāura.
