Progress reports

Progress reports are biannually sought from both the candidate and the supervisor to help reflect on:

• the progress of your research studies
• your supervision
• the resources that are available to you
• to help you plan your progress towards the submission of your dissertation.

Submitting your progress report

1. You will receive a progress report form from the Office of Research and Higher Degrees via your Faculty.
      
2. Please candidly answer all questions on the progress report form. To enable the University to provide you with as much assistance as possible, you are encouraged to complete this form in detail.
     
3. Attach all requested documentation, including a brief summary of your work over the past semester and a detailed timetable for completion of your dissertation.
     
4. Return the progress report form and attached documentation, within the stipulated period, to the address indicated.  
   

Your Principal Supervisor(s) (and in some instances your Associate Supervisor) will also be requested to provide biannual progress reports. Once all progress reports are returned, they are submitted to the Dean of Faculty for comment, and subsequently for review by the Higher Degrees Review and Admissions Committee (HDRAC).Following review of your and your supervisors' progress reports, you will receive advice and comments, from the Chair, Higher Degrees Review and Admissions Committee (HDRAC) on whether you are progressing satisfactorily or not. If problems with the candidature become evident, you and your supervisor will be advised and given clear guidelines by the HDRAC as to how the situation may be remedied.
