Progress reports are vital to the University’s overall monitoring of both individual progress and programme issues.
The student should complete their section of the report and then pass it on to the supervisor(s) who will complete their section of the form. Comments must be discussed with the student and a copy made available for them. Supervisor(s) are also required to indicate any remedial action to be taken if required.
