Updates for GR Supervisors
Supervisors did you know. . . about registering your iThenticate access?
iThenticate is a text-matching tool that enables researchers and graduate researchers to compare their research writing drafts with an extensive database of research literature. As a supervisor you can access iThenticate via the University of Melbourne enterprise account login screen. By accessing this link to register yourself as an iThenticate user you will allow any graduate researchers you supervise to send you an iThenticate report or grant you access to view a live report.
If you are not registered in iThenticate, graduate researchers will be unable to find your details in the system.
Please visit the iThenticate at the University of Melbourne webpage for more information on the accessing the system, guides for its use and other support resources.
Update to Academic Progress Review Policy resources
Following the publication of the new Academic Progress Review policy for graduate research, related webpages, process maps, email templates and form templates have been updated to align with the new policy.
For your reference, the following Staff Hub webpages and the resources contained within these pages have been updated:
- Graduate research progress reviews
- Graduate research at risk
- Graduate research unsatisfactory progress
- Progress review forms for academic staff
- Email templates
- A new form to record both the outcome for ‘at risk’ and unsatisfactory progress
These pages were designed with particular care to clarify the process for staff, so if you notice any issues or areas for improvement send any feedback, positive or negative, to gr-candidature@unimelb.edu.au
