Progress Reports

⌚ 5 min read
📆 Last updated: October 2023

Effective Summer 2023, PDF progress reports are being retired. All progress will now be reported using online Graduate Progress Reports (GPR). Make sure all your committee members are in the system in preparation for your GPR invite.

GPR (Graduate Progress Report)

All MSE MASc and PhD students need to meet with their supervisory committee at least once a year and submit a Graduate Progress Report to the university.

Keeping your progress report up to date is important to maintain your eligibility for financial awards such as Graduate Fellowships. Please make sure to check the status of your GPR on goSFU.

External Committee Members

External committee members on supervisory committees will need to fill out a confidentiality agreement in order to access goSFU and add their comments to the GPR. If you have an external member on your committee, please get in touch with the MSE admin office to arrange this.

Students will receive their first GPR invite as they begin their 3rd term in the program. GPR invites are sent via email - students are encouraged to check their emails regularly.

Please refer to the Grading + Academic Progress page for more information.

APR (Academic Progress Report)

This is a report available via your goSFU Student Centre that lists the courses you have taken, and how these courses are being counted towards your program requirements.

Students can access their APRs via goSFU.

If you believe there is an error on your APR, you can submit a request via CourSys to get it fixed.
