Annual Progress Reports (APR)

Purpose of Annual Progress Report

The Annual Progress Report is the means by which the University assesses whether the student candidature will continue into the following year.  Written reports from students and their supervisors are an important and formal means to monitor research student progress.

• Each report should be a frank appraisal of the student's progress by both the supervisor and the student.
• The annual report is the means by which the University assesses whether the candidature will continue into the following year.
• The Progress Report form will also provide an opportunity for you to check and update if necessary the details pertaining to your full-time/part-time status, your thesis title, and your supervisor.

Directions on filling in Annual Progress Report

An Annual Progress Report will be made available online each year via SOLS. This report needs to be completed on-line by both yourself and your supervisor.

Please note:  Students who are currently on Leave of Absence are still expected to complete an APR.  It is important for students who have been on leave to establish a research plan for the coming year.

The Head of Postgraduate Studies and the Dean of the Faculty also need to approve the form before it is returned to the Research Student Centre.  HDR Students will NOT be re-enrolled without a completed APR.  It is extremely important that all parties comply with the due dates for completion to allow RSC to process the enrolment prior to the Autumn Session enrolment audit date of 31^st March.
