All ABE graduate students are required to submit the progress report except first semester graduate students. However, it is recommended that new students also submit the report. Submission of the report is required to receive a passing grade in ABE 696a (Seminar - Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering) except for new graduate students. Each progress report must include a research abstract, if you have completed (2) semesters in the ABE Department. Failure to include an abstract will result in a decrease in your assigned grade by two letters (e.g. S to C).

Why? The primary purpose of the change is to keep your thesis or dissertation committee members as well as your advisor(s) informed of your academic progress in an efficient and systematic way. This will enable them to serve you in their advisory capacities more effectively throughout your study.

When? You must complete the online progress report form every semester - Fall (2nd Friday of October) and Spring (2nd Friday of March).

How? Complete the Online progress report form(s) (.doc format):

It should be noted that graduate students whose records exhibit unsatisfactory academic progress toward the degree are subject to conversion to `non-degree' status. If you have any questions, call or email Dr. Yitayew (520-621-7232, myitayew@email.arizona.edu).
