Accounting: Student Performance Reviews
Our Strength: Our Program
Rotman's PhD program provides students with an annual performance review to ensure their successful progress in the program. Each area performs their reviews internally. Evaluation criteria is listed here.
A performance review of all active doctoral students is conducted annually by the Rotman School. In order to remain eligible for funding, students must maintain ‘good academic standing’ classification. The key guidelines for the student evaluation in each year of study are listed below:
First Year Review: primarily based on performance in the required courses.
Second Year Review: primarily based on the successful completion of the comprehensive examination and course requirements.
Third Year Review: primarily based on the progress the student has made in identifying a thesis research topic and supervisor. Students who are retaking the comprehensive exam and fail to achieve ‘Unconditional Pass’ or ‘Conditional Pass’ will automatically be classified as ‘not in good standing’.
Fourth and Fifth Year Reviews: primarily based on the progress students are making towards completing their thesis.
