PhD Program Yearly Report

Yearly Report

In order to track progress, manage the funding process and plan curriculum needs, it is important that each doctoral student, regardless of year in the program, meet with their Faculty Advisor and report their status, accomplishments, progress and plan going forward to the Faculty Director of the Doctoral Program prior to the beginning of each year.

Step 1: Faculty Advisor Meeting

Prior to completing your yearly report, you will are required to meet with your faculty advisor to discuss the following topics:

• COURSES: Review of courses taken this academic year and plans for next year
• RA/TA/TEACHING: Research Assistant or Teaching Assistant responsibilities and accomplishments this year, and plans for next year
• CONFERENCES: Past attendance and/or presentations at professional associations, and conference and/or professional events and plans for next year
• PUBLICATIONS: Publications this year and plans for next year
• TEACHING: responsibilities and accomplishments this year and plans for next year
• AWARDS: Any outstanding achievements you have been awarded this year
• OTHER: Other professional activities

Step 2: Submit Your Report

After meeting with your faculty advisor, you are required to submit the Doctoral Yearly Report. Students will not receive their stipend if this report is not received. Once the Master’s and PhD Center receives your Yearly Report, a copy will be sent to you, your faculty advisor, and the Faculty Director of the Doctoral Program.
