Working with your supervisor

A great supervisor oversees your academic work, is passionate about your subject area and is invested in your success. This mentor may work with you to identify research and teaching roles, members of a supervisory committee and career opportunities that will carry you beyond your degree.

Our graduate supervision policy will prepare you for a successful relationship with your supervisor. It outlines the responsibilities and expectations in a student-supervisor relationship.

Finding your supervisor

Regulatory approval for research

You’ll need regulatory approval if your research involves:

• human subjects or human biological materials
• animals 
• research materials that require biosafety, radiation safety, hazardous materials registration or diving registration.

You must have regulatory approval for your research before funds are released and your research begins.

Contracts & agreements

Research Services can help you develop, review, negotiate and finalize contracts and agreements with potential industry sponsors.
