PhD students in their second year and beyond are required to submit an annual report on the progress of their PhD work by October 31 of each year. These reports are used to assist the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies and (for more advanced students) the student’s Dissertation Director in advising about progress in the program.

Students without current reports on file may not be considered eligible by the department for fellowships or teaching positions. Reports should be no more than one page in length and can be submitted in person to the Graduate Program Coordinator via e-mail to gsengl@colorado.edu.
