Graduate students are expected to maintain adequate progress or they will be required to withdraw from the program. Progress includes timely completion of required course work, progress to candidacy according to the program’s candidacy timeline, and steady and meaningful work on the thesis. Supervisors and graduate program directors should ensure, through annual progress reports and otherwise, that the student is informed in writing about concerns regarding progress.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies, after consultation with the graduate program director and/or supervisory committee concerned, may initiate the withdrawal of a student for failure to maintain progress.

Annual Student Progress Report

Each thesis-based graduate student must file an annual progress report with their graduate program, typically during the month of May every year (the time may vary by program). Delinquent students may be denied registration.

The annual progress report is accessed from the online Student Centre at .

It is expected that students in course-based Master's programs will complete at least half of the required courses in the first two years of the program.

A graduate program may recommend to the Faculty of Graduate Studies that a student be required to withdraw for lack of satisfactory progress in either course work or research.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies, after consultation with the graduate program director and/or supervisory committee concerned, may initiate the withdrawal of a student.

Graduate programs may require students to complete actions or activities for which they do not receive grades or credit in order to maintain satisfactory progress in the program. These milestones extend beyond coursework and may include, but are not limited to, candidacy requirements, workshop attendance, completion of training modules and presentations of research. Program-specific milestones may be shared with students through calendar entries or via program documents such as program websites or graduate handbooks.
