The Graduate Progress Report is a key tool for monitoring your progress and ensuring that you are meeting the program requirements in a timely manner. It is completed annually and helps you and your supervisory committee to identify any potential issues or areas for improvement.

The Graduate Progress Report (GPR) is a mandatory annual review of your progress in your graduate program. It allows inputs from you, your Supervisory Committee, and Graduate Program Chair.

In brief, you will receive an email when your Graduate Progress Report is available. Upon submission, your report will route to your supervisor for review and addition of their evaluation. The report will route back to you for a final acknowledgment after the Graduate Program Chair has completed the final step of the report. Once your GPR is initiated, it must be fully completed within six weeks. Once your portion of the GPR is ready for you to complete, you will receive an e-mail notification.

To access your GPR, you need to log in to the Student Service Center on goSFU. More detailed instructions for completing your portion of the GPR are available here.

The GPR can have one of the following outcomes: satisfactory (S), satisfactory with concerns (SC), or unsatisfactory (U).
