TERMINATION OF SUPERVISION. The PhD candidate and the supervisor may by mutual agreement request the faculty to select a new supervisor for the candidate. The supervisor is not at liberty to terminate his/her supervision until a new supervisor has been appointed. If the PhD candidate or the supervisor feels that the other party is not fulfilling his/her obligations in accordance with points 3 and 5 of this Agreement, the party which feels that the obligations are not being met is to raise the issue with the other party. The PhD candidate and the supervisor must work together to try and find a solution. If a PhD candidate or the supervisor feels that the other party is not fulfilling his/her obligations in accordance with points 3 and 5 of this Agreement and these parties are unable to reach agreement as to how to resolve the situation, the candidate or the supervisor may request to be released from their obligations under the supervision agreement. Any such request to be released from obligations under the supervision agreement is to be addressed to the faculty, but is to be sent via the department. A copy of this request must be sent to the other party by the party making the request. The decision about whether or not to release the PhD candidate or the supervisor from the supervision agreement is to be taken by the faculty. The faculty must ensure that the PhD candidate signs a new supervision agreement with a new supervisor.
