Annual Evaluations
Each academic year, students must submit to an annual evaluation by their Advisory Committees. First year students are evaluated by their Faculty Advisors. Students should prepare a Graduate Student Annual Progress Report and a Research Update form. These forms should be submitted to the Graduate Program Coordinator at least one week prior to the Advisory Committee meeting for distribution to Committee members, or the Faculty Advisor in the case of first year students. The Faculty Advisor then prepares an MACR Annual Evaluation Form in consultation with the student’s Advisory Committee. The completed Annual Evaluation Form should be submitted to the Graduate Program Coordinator (Tiffany Carpenetti, 1075 Life Science Circle, Suite 110) to be submitted to the Graduate School and a copy retained in the student's file.
