Once a year, CEOAS conducts a review of student progress. The progress report provides an opportunity to ensure that the student-major professor relationship is healthy, that you are progressing toward completion, and that any unusual or sensitive issues can be identified and resolved. Contents of the progress reports are made available to both responding graduate student and their major professor. If you have any questions or issues that you are uncomfortable writing about in this context, please bring them to the attention of Robert Allan, Director of Graduate Services. When you are finished with the report, please print a copy of this assessment and share with your student or advisor.
