Each year, graduate students in the College of Veterinary Medicine are required to complete an Annual Progress Report. This form serves as a summary of your accomplishments and progress in your graduate study over the course of the last calendar year. Please include information from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. This report will be reviewed by your advisor, your committee, and the Council for Graduate Studies to ensure that you are making satisfactory progress toward your degree and to have a record of your accomplishments over the last year.

Information for Faculty
Faculty members will do formal evaluations of all MS and PhD students for which they serve as the primary advisor. Each student is required to submit an Annual Progress Report which summarizes their progress and accomplishments over the last calendar year.
You will receive a notification that your student has completed their Annual Progress Report. You will need to review and approve that form and then complete a Graduate Student Annual Evaluation for that student. Once the student’s committee has approved the Annual Progress Report and you have submitted the Graduate Student Annual Evaluation form, that student’s review process is considered complete.
Once you have begun completing the form, you will not be able to save it and return later to submit it. A document outlining all of the information you will need is located here: Annual Evaluation by Advisor - Information Required
The Council for Graduate Studies will review each of the forms to ensure that students are meeting their requirements, making progress toward their intended degree, and performing satisfactorily in their laboratory work and their academic work.
Questions regarding this process can be directed to Shannon Binkley at binkley.45@osu.edu.
