Dear graduate students and colleagues,

The 2025-26 Graduate Student Annual Mentoring Form (AME) is now available.
This is year two of the new process whereby students initiate the
evaluation and their advisors make their evaluation directly. Each file is
then reviewed by the department’s graduate advisor (me), who can also make
additions.

All continuing students have fully completed AME’s or they cannot enroll
for Fall 2027 classes (or anything else Grad Div related). *The deadline
from Grad Div is June 30! This is for both students and their advisors.*

The steps for completion of the form are:

   - Step 1: Student initiates the Annual Mentoring and Evaluation (AME) in
   R'Grad. If the major professor is not listed, the form will first be sent
   to the program graduate advisor.
   - Step 2: Student's major professor completes information regarding the
   student's progress. If the student doesn't have a major professor yet, the
   Graduate Advisor will complete this portion.
      - If an internal program evaluation has already been completed, that
      can be attached here.
   - Step 3: (optional) If additional faculty collaborators are required to
   be part of the annual student review, they can be added into the routing.
   These faculty have the option to add comments regarding the student's
   academic progress.
   - Step 4: The AME returns to the student to review the assessment by the
   major professor and any collaborators.
   - Step 5: Graduate Staff review to track student progress and note
   completion of the AME for students in the program.
   - Step 6: Graduate Advisor review for final approval.
   - Step 7: Graduate Dean/Graduate Academic Affairs review.
      - The AME for students making satisfactory progress will continue
      through the routing process and be approved. All AME's with
unsatisfactory
      progress will be reviewed by the Vice Provost and Dean of
Graduate Studies.

Thanks in advance for your work on these.

Yours,
Jason

Dear colleagues

The 25-26 Graduate Student Annual Mentoring and Evaluation AME)  Form is
now available to all doctoral and MFA students on R'Grad.
I strongly recommend that you encourage your students to initiate the
completion of the form and direct it to their faculty mentors or you (in
case they do not yet have a research advisor). As a reminder, the main goal
of the AME is to create a space for students and faculty to align their
academic goals and expectations. The deadline for submission is *June 30th*
.
We have improved the AME this year thanks to your feedback. If you
encounter any issues or want to provide more feedback, please reach out
here: rgradfeedback at ucr.edu.
If your program prefers to use your own form, students or faculty can
simply attach that to the AME. The overall performance evaluation at the
end of the AME should still be completed. Note that we will no longer
accept electronic or paper evaluation forms sent to our office.

In case you need some more information about the AME you can find it on our
website:
https://graduate.ucr.edu/regulations-and-procedures#annual-mentoring-and-evaluatio

Our goal is a 100% completion rate!  I appreciate your support in getting
us there.

all the best
Lidia
