Annual evaluations are conducted by graduate programs as part of the Satisfactory Academic Progress procedures. Each graduate program has its own criteria for evaluation of a student's academic progress including dates by which students will receive annual reports on their progress and be notified of any concerns. The Graduate College will apply the appropriate program's criteria if the department requests a student's disqualification for failure to meet satisfactory academic progress guidelines.
The University of Arizona requires that each person occupying a Graduate Assistantship/Associateship in Teaching (GAT), Research (GAR) or Outreach/Other (GAO) position must receive a written performance evaluation from their faculty supervisor at the end of each term of hire, regardless of the specific duties. The Graduate College has designed a Career Conversations form that emulates the one used for other University employees (TA Conversations, RA Conversations and OA Conversations). Please see GA Career Conversations for more information.
