I missed the March 15 deadline for completing the progress report. What now?
A. We encourage you to submit a progress report by the deadline if you wish to continue in your PhD program. (However, paper copy progress reports are not accepted.) There are almost 1,200 students submitting progress reports, so reports submitted after March 15 have a greater probability of not being read and approved in a timely way, thus blocking your registration and financial aid for the fall. So avoid the anxiety of not being able to register until a thousand progress reports are read before we can get to yours. Complete your progress report by the March 15 deadline. (So what should you do? Complete your progress report and wait. Be patient.) Q.
