PGR Manager will go live next week (w/c 20 September) as our main PGR tracker system, replacing the current way Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) track their progress.
The Doctoral College has launched a dedicated Sharepoint site to act as the central hub for PGR Manager guidance, including training videos and frequently asked questions about this new software.
As a reminder, this new system will allow PGRs to do more things in one place, such as updating training and data management plans, setting up supervisory meetings, seeing progression review milestones and deadlines, and booking onto training courses.
Not all PGRs will start using PGR Manager straight away. PGRs who began their programme of study before 1 August 2016 will continue to use their current system to manage their progress. PGRs who are currently midway through completing a progression review, special considerations request, transfer to nominal request or change of programme/mode of study request will continue to complete these tasks in PGR Tracker, before moving over to PGR Manager. More information on this can be found on this SharePoint page.
In the meantime, PGRs and supervisors are invited to visit the SharePoint site and familiarise themselves with PGR Manager ahead of go-live next week.
