Commencement form checklist

Step 4: Once you have commenced, complete the Commencement Form Checklist within the first month of your candidature.

As part of your degree, you must complete the Commencement Form with your supervisors and attach a copy of the signed Supervisory Agreement Form to the Commencement Form in the Candidature Management System — this is a mandatory requirement. Please read through the GR Hub: Orientation and Induction page and the Arts GR Induction Module in Canvas. This resource will help you navigate the initial stages of your research program effectively.

The purpose of the Commencement Form Checklist is to assist you in establishing plans to interact regularly with your supervisory panel and to discuss expectations throughout your candidature. The checklist also helps you to be aware of important information and processes associated with your degree, as well as resources and support available to you.

The Commencement Form is due within 3 months of your official start date; however, it is highly recommended to complete the form within the first month of your commencement.

Once you complete your section of the form, it will then be sent to your Principal Supervisor to review and to add extra comments, if required.
