Chapter 11: PhD Review

Reference: PhD Review Procedures and Guidelines

The goal of the PhD review process in the School of Interactive Computing is to give students feedback on their progress in the program, in relation to clearly articulated expectations and milestones. Each year, the school faculty conducts two PhD Reviews as follows.

Review Schedule

Fall Review: This review is scheduled in early November. All PhD students with the exception of first years are reviewed in the Fall.

Spring Review: This review is scheduled at the end of April. All first-years and students on less-than Satisfactory status in the fall are reviewed.

How to Prepare for the PhD Review

Please read the IC PhD Review Website for guidance on your responsibilities to prepare for the review and the milestones you will be reviewed on.

Financial Support and Standing

When a student is accepted into the PhD program, they are granted certain rights based on the expectation of maintaining good standing. The PhD review is the mechanism by which faculty periodically communicate to students whether they are in good standing. In the worst case, when a student is no longer deemed in good standing, the school will no longer have a commitment to financially support that student.
