Administrative requirements (i.e. forms and deadlines) are an important part of your program.  They not only serve as benchmarks in progress toward your degree but also support you by encouraging communication between all stakeholders in that progress — you, your Committee, the Field and the Graduate School.

Graduate School benchmarks and requirements can be found on the Academic Progress website.

The GGD Field Manual details Field requirements.

GD Rotation Evaluation Form [PDF] is part of your first-year assessment of progress.  A form must be turned in at the end of every rotation.  It should also be used as a basis for an expectations discussion at the start of each rotation.

Annual Student Progress Review – required in the second year and beyond for all students registered in any portion of the academic year.  The SPR is associated with your Student Seminar and Annual Committee meeting.  It is due within 30 days of your Field research seminar.  Indication of the completion of the Individual Development Plan (IDP) and Expectations Dialog are required annually as part of the SPR and can be found on the MBG Grad Student Intranet.
