(1) The Board shall appoint a Panel of Supervision for each student, normally composed of three members as follows: the head of department as chairman, and two other members, one of whom being the principal supervisor, provided that when the head of department is the principal supervisor, he shall not be appointed chairman.

(2) The Panel of Supervision shall follow, as it deems fit, the progress of students through the course, provided that it meets at least once every six months to review such progress.

(3) Students shall be required to report to their principal supervisor at least once every two months, and in addition as often as the principal supervisor deems necessary.

Such reports may include recommendations to either (a) modify the title and/or content of the dissertation; (b) extend the period of study in order to enable the student to complete the dissertation; or (c) terminate studies prematurely if the principal supervisor deems this to be proper in the circumstances, provided that:

(i) the extension of the study period referred to in (b) shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Principal Regulations; and

(ii) the Board may not terminate studies prematurely according to (c) until it has first given the student a chance to be heard.
