Supervisor Quick Guide to Progress Reports
1. Once you have received email notification of a progress report to review from the student, log into RIMS. The link is http://rims.massey.ac.nz. Use your staff id and massey password to log in.
2. Under GRS, select Progress Reviews
3. Select the student from the list. The default setting is “For Assessment Review”. If you cannot see the student you are looking for, select All Progress Reviews.
4. On the left hand navigation pane, select the sections you wish to read. To review it all, use the green arrows top right or bottom right to move between each page.
Supervisor Report. Add your comments. You will be asked to elaborate for any response 3 (Neutral) or lower.
6. Progress to the Sign-off page. Add your general comments. You may be asked to supply additional comments depending on your responses.
7. For the next section, you need to nominate at least one co-supervisor that will also be making comments. The table below lists the supervisors held in the system.
8. You need to click on the Action Tab and select Notify Co-Supervisor to make the selection.
9. In the next screen tick the active Co-supervisors and the Application pdf.
If a co-supervisor is not on the list, type their surname in and click on the search function to add them.
10. Generally click on Send (Zip and send is for large documents). This will send them an email with a pdf of the details of the progress report. They will all need to log in and add their comments, so the pdf is there to make their deliberations easier, but not to replace the system when it comes to their part. They will be notified in an email to log in and add their comments, along with instructions on how to complete.
11. You will receive a confirmation message:
at what point you will close this stage and move it onto the HoU. In some cases you might be satisfied with one set of comments. Equally you might decide to get comments from more than one or indeed all. You must get at least one set of comments before you move it on.
Note: Once you have moved it on to the HoU, any co-supervisor who hasn’t commented will not be able to.
13. At this point, you can logoff and wait for the co-supervisor to respond. An email will be sent to all the co-supervisors selected, and they can add comments.
Please remember you do need to log back on and send on to HoU otherwise the report will stay with you.
14. Log back in and find the students report following the instructions 1-3 on the first page of this guide. Use the left hand navigation pane to review the Co -Supervisor Comments.
When you are comfortable with the co-supervisors opportunity to comment, you complete yours and forward to HoU.
15. Tick the box “I can confirm I have reviewed this report and am satisfied that there is sufficient feedback from co-supervisors”
16. Go to the Action Tab and select Submit PR to HoU.
