2025-2026 Annual Doctoral Progress Form (Draft)

2025-2026 Annual Doctoral Progress Form
The School of Graduate Studies (SGS) at the University of Toronto requires that students meet with their Doctoral Supervisory Committee at least once each year. The purpose of this form is to document a student’s progress in their doctoral program and to record these meetings with their assigned faculty advisor, or supervisor, or their thesis supervisory committee. The annual supervisory committee meeting may be held remotely or in-person and should consist of all supervisory committee members. See the SGS Supervision Guidelines for more information.

In LHAE, doctoral students must have at least one documented meeting per academic year with either: their faculty advisor, their thesis supervisor (if secured), or their full thesis supervisory committee (if secured). The academic year spans from September to August. For information on the role of the faculty advisor vs. the thesis supervisor, please see the LHAE Student Handbook.
