Graduate Supervision System
The Graduate Supervision System (GSS) is used by supervisors each term to review, monitor and comment on their students' academic progress and to assess skills and training needs. Students are given the opportunity to contribute by commenting on their own academic progress.| GSS Reporting Windows | |

Students will receive a report of their termly supervision from their supervisor. Divisions, departments and colleges use the completion of supervision reports as an essential means of monitoring student progress. The supervision reporting process is controlled by a structured timetable with automatic notifications and reminders. Once reports are submitted they are immediately available to the student, supervisor and DGS for review. Additionally, subject administrators, college advisors, college administrators and scholarship and funding administrators are able to view reports. Please note that any information entered into GSS is governed by the University's Data Protection Act.
*The closing date for supervisors in the Medical Sciences Division is two weeks after the end of full term (Friday, 4pm).
Updating/correcting supervision
relationships
If you are linked in GSS
to an incorrect student/supervisor, please do
not submit a report as a means of alerting
an administrator to the error, as the text you submit
will become part of the student’s permanent record in
GSS. Instead, to correct/update a supervision
relationship, contact the relevant Graduate Studies
