Introduction to DS-PRO

The Doctoral Student Progress Report Online (DS-PRO) system is an on-line process enabling doctoral students and professors at UT Arlington to collaboratively set goals and monitor and report on progress toward those goals. Users of DS-PRO create a concrete, permanent record of expectations, goals and intentions providing a kind of road map that guides the student along the path leading to the degree. While DS-PRO is an on-line “advisement” system, in-person interaction between student and advisor may be of considerable help in completing the DS-PRO in a matter satisfactory to both of you. The system is not intended to be a substitute for face-to-face interaction or to reduce the importance or necessity of on-going dialog. At a minimum, the content of the DS-PRO may encourage, inform and permanently record key elements of these discussions.
