How to propose modification of supervisor team
As a Graduate School, you can submit a change request to adjust the supervision team. This request must then be approved by the first supervisor, the PhD candidate and Doctoral Service Centre. This article will guide you through this process.
Where can I submit a change request?
First, you go to the PhD projects overview page and select the PhD project for which you want to propose modification. Navigate to the '(Co)Supervisors' tab. Here you will find the 'Propose change of supervisors' function.
On the following page 'Proposal members supervisor team' you can propose new supervisors, co-supervisors and other team members. You can also add a comment about your proposal and see which actors are involved in the approval process.
With the 'Copy current members' button you can copy the current supervisors into this proposal. Skipping this step will delete the entire current situation!!
