Students will be required to prepare a 1-page, single spaced executive summary of research progress to date since the last examination. Beyond research, this document should also include an “Individual Development Plan” discussing future plans and strategies for personal and career development (approximately ¼ of the page). The graduate office has provided numerous resources below for completing the Executive Summary. The Executive Summary and Annual Review Update Form should be sent to the committee 6 weeks prior to the deadline given by the Graduate Office. You will be prompted to upload your executive summary to the Annual Review update form through DocuSign.
Annual Review Update Form through DocuSign
The Annual Review Update Form will be sent to the Graduate student at the beginning of the fall semester after the 4th class day through DocuSign. The student should complete this form as quickly as possible so their committee can begin reviewing it.

- Use the yellow Auto-Navigate prompt button rather than the tab key to complete the form. You will be required to click through each step of the Auto-Navigate system regardless of whether the field has been completed.
- The Auto-Navigate will also require you to click through each radio button (round button) even though you should select only one radio button for each question.
- When filling out information about courses, insert the word "transfer" in the year and semester field if you took a course or its equivalent at a different institution. If you took more than 10 courses, only list the three required courses (Thermo, Transport, Kinetics) and 7 others that are relevant to your research.
- If a committee member prefers to sign on paper, they can read the simple instructions of how to complete a paper signature on the DocuSign support page. The signed form should then be re-uploaded to DocuSign, following these instructions.
