Faculty-specific milestone guidelines
The University is committed to providing a high-quality experience for all graduate research students and support through to the completion.
The University’s Progress Management Framework supports and facilitates a student’s progress to timely thesis submission through formal and informal milestones and provides mechanisms to support student’s progress outside the Milestone Framework.
Milestones support and facilitate a student's progress towards their timely thesis submission, providing an opportunity to receive structured feedback on their progress and to highlight any issues affecting progress.
The Milestone Framework comprises three formal milestones: Confirmation, Progress Review, and Final Review. For doctoral courses, each of the three milestones must be completed. For research master’s courses, Confirmation and Progress Review must be completed. There is no Final Review.
