Graduate Student Progress Tracking
不良研究所 requires annual tracking of doctoral students鈥� progress toward the degree. The Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking Form is to be used during face-to-face meetings between the doctoral student, supervisor, and at least one other departmental representative.听 Having written agreed-upon expectations and clearly defined requirements aids in reduced times to completion and leads to fewer supervisor-supervisee misunderstandings.
Please refer to the Regulations on Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking听for the steps to be followed for doctoral students.听Units may also use the Form for Master鈥檚 students in thesis and non-thesis research programs, if this is a unit-wide practice.听

Unsatisfactory Progress Tracking Reports
As noted in the Regulations on Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking , 鈥淭wo unsatisfactory reports (not necessarily successive) constitute unsatisfactory progress towards the degree and, if recommended by the academic unit, the student will be withdrawn from the University.鈥�
Units must communicate with the associatedeans.gps [at] mcgill.ca (GPS Associate Deans) for approval in cases where students receive two or more unsatisfactory reports.
Progress Tracking resources:
General rationales and practical advice on progress reporting are available on the Monitoring student progress page of the Supervision: Graduate and Postdoctoral Support website. For more information about supervision, please refer to Regulations on graduate student supervision.
As you progress through your degree, you should familiarize yourself with the basic research policies and ethics guidelines of the Universities. For more information, visit our Graduate Student Research page.
