Progress Review Meeting

The progression panel will consider your evidence, your supervisor’s report and agreed TAP reports at an integrated TAP and progress review meeting. As a matter of course, you will be in attendance and, based on these elements, the progression panel will decide as to whether you have met, exceeded or not met the relevant University progression criteria as well as a recommendation regarding your progression.
