Additionally, you may assign a second letter type, a P.S., and you are encouraged to write a brief personal note (up to 1000 characters). Don't forget to SAVE your entry!

Frequently Asked Questions:

I do not yet have a Research Advisor. Should I complete the review?

Yes. Complete the Questionnaire and meet with your Temporary Advisor. Take this opportunity to discuss any difficulties you may have encountered or steps you might take in finding a Research Advisor.

I’m in the 5th Yr. M.S. Program. Should I complete the review?

Yes. The Grad Student Review is meant for all current M.S./Ph.D. students. **NOTE: M.Eng. do not need to complete this process at this time**

I’m on Filing Fee this semester. Must I complete the review?

Yes. Consider this your FINAL review and take this opportunity to ensure the timely completion of your degree requirements. If you don't file by the semester deadline, you'll have to be readmitted for the following semester and pay full fees just to file!

My Research Advisor is on sabbatical this semester. Do I have to complete the review?

Yes. Contact your Research Advisor and arrange the best way to conduct the review. Forms may be submitted via e-mail. Contact the Grad Assistant if you have questions.

I have Co-Advisors. Do I have to meet with both of them?

Yes. Meet with them separately or together (submit two signed progress review forms or one). This is a perfect opportunity to bring both advisors up to date on your progress and receive direction for the future.
