All submitted reports are immediately available to the student, supervisor(s), adviser, College Postgraduate Tutor and relevant administrators in the Department, Degree Committee, College and Student Registry. The Education Quality and Policy Office and Postgraduate Research Office may also review the Student Self-Evaluation reports anonymously to help to identify response rates, as well as any common trends or themes amongst student’s responses that warrant further consideration or action.
The University will use the reports to monitor a research student's engagement for visa compliance purposes. Engagement for visa compliance if not the same as academic performance; supervisors should continue to give an honest and constructive assessment of their student's performance. A report that a student has stopped engaging with studies, or an absent report, would not automatically have implications for a student's visa.
