If the Thesis Advisory Committee deems that the student has made insufficient progress in the time since the previous meeting, the Committee may decide to place the student on “notice” or “probation”. The Committee will discuss with the student expectations and goals that they would like to see completed by the next committee meeting, usually in six-month time. If the student fails to satisfy the Committee at the next meeting, the student’s progress will be discussed at the next Faculty meeting, where the student may be asked to withdraw from the program. A student will also be placed on probation if he/she has not met with his/her Thesis Committee as mandated.
