PGR-supervisor agreement

The PGR-supervisor agreement helps you and your supervisors talk about how you will work together, including your responsibilities, meeting plans, and any specific needs you may have. 

This agreement makes sure everyone knows what to expect and helps you build a good relationship with your supervisors. 

All new PGRs starting from September 2023 must complete this agreement. If you started earlier, you are also encouraged to do it. 

Download the PGR-supervisor agreement form (docx). 

Year one

Complete the agreement in your first meeting with your supervisors, and upload it to GRAD as a training event. 

You’ll be reminded to check, update and upload the agreement during your First formal progress review, and as part of transfer. 

Year two and beyond

Each year, during your Annual progress review, review the agreement and make changes if needed. Then upload it with your report files. 

If your supervisors change

In most cases, your supervisory team will stay the same throughout your research degree. However, if one of your supervisors leaves the university or is away for an extended period, your team may change. Your Graduate School and DPGRS will tell you about any changes, and make sure you are supported throughout. If you get a new supervisor, you should review your agreement with the team and make any changes. 

If you have any questions, contact your Graduate School for help.
