Annual Reports
The Student Progress Report (SPR) has been implemented by the Graduate School for all graduate students across the University. It is intended to measure student progress towards their degree, as well as provide a forum for regular feedback to the student from the committee. If a student fails to fill out the SPR, a hold may be placed against the student's record until it is completed.
The SPR must be completed annually by ALL BBS students, including first year students and graduating students, on or before May 15th. Faculty need to submit their portion by June 1st.
- Schedule an annual meeting with your Special Committee. Students are responsible for setting up this meeting, and are strongly encouraged to hold it in conjunction with their WIP presentation. First year students should meet with their DGS.
- Submit annual committee meeting date to Office of Grad Ed via this SURVEY. You and your special committee chair will receive an email in response that includes the links to the SPR.
- Complete the Student Section of the SPR, save and distribute to your Special Committee 10 days prior to your committee meeting.
- Meet with your Special Committee to discuss your progress and plans for the coming year.
- After the meeting, finalize the Student Section of the SPR and submit it.
- Your Committee Chair will submit their portion of the form within 30 days of your meeting and your milestone will be marked complete.
Please contact your DGS or the Office of Graduate Education if you are unable to fulfill this requirement. These reports will be saved in your permanent file as evidence of progress in your program.
