• During the meeting, the committee completes part of the committee meeting report and each member should sign the report form whether present or not for the meeting. 
  
  
• The committee meeting report, which includes the student's progress update and the student's response to the committee's recommendations, should be submitted to the student, all members of the Advisory Committee and to gsbs.reports@uth.tmc.edu within 10 business days from the date of the meeting.  The meeting will be recorded only if a report is received.
