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.
Once you have completed the Doctoral progress report form, pass the form to your supervisor for their sign off.
This documentation is then forwarded to the Postgraduate Office, who refer this to the Postraduate Dean who then 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.
