The 5th term progress review involves a one on oneýmeeting with the department chair and typicallyýwith other thesis project faculty to reviewýstudent progress to date, identify and discussýstudent concerns, challenges and opportunitiesýespecially regarding final thesis project progressýand individual plans for graduation. Students mustýshow significant progress on their thesis projectýincluding a clear direction for development workýto be done in the final M6 term to pass theýreview. Students with ambiguous plans orýinsufficient progress on the M5 research phase ofýthe two term thesis project will fail the reviewýand are required to retake the M5 thesis class andýrepeat the 5th term progress review with a passingýgrade before being able to register for classes inýthe M6 term. Students that receive a passing gradeýin this review are expected to remain on trackýwith their selected project direction. Studentsýmay change direction after this point but mustýrepeat the 5th term thesis and progress review ifýthey choose to do so.
