Write a formal but constructive complaint about long delays or missing feedback from a supervisor. Inputs I will provide: university and programme [UNIVERSITY_AND_PROGRAMME], supervisor [SUPERVISOR_NAME], agreed meeting schedule [AGREED_SCHEDULE], dates when feedback was promised and received [FEEDBACK_DATES], effect on my progress and deadlines [EFFECT_ON_DEADLINES], informal steps taken [INFORMAL_STEPS]. The letter needs to be written in a professional tone, list the timeline with evidence, avoid personal criticism, and ask for a meeting, a second supervisor or adjusted deadlines under the university's procedures. Gather before drafting: Emails requesting feedback with dates, meeting records, the supervision agreement or handbook section, the programme deadlines, and a short note on actions I took. Reasonable asks: A meeting, an interim supervisor, a deadline extension, a written plan with dates, or a formal review. They will often answer: Departments may suggest solving it informally; reply that you tried and are asking for a documented plan, and ask about the formal route. Begin with a timeline table for the complaint about thesis or dissertation supervision delays (when, what, document), mark undocumented dates, and then draft the letter from it. Provide the finished letter together with a short cover note, around 50 words, and next the steps to take for silence or refusal (ask the programme director, then the graduate school, then the university's complaints office), then an evidence checklist (emails with dates, meeting records, handbook section, deadlines). Send the letter with a clear subject line and the PDF attached, and archive a screenshot of the sent folder showing date and time and ask for a reply confirming receipt. Quote no statute or time limit from memory; stay within [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] and nothing else, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. Write it as me, an ordinary person, never as a lawyer. Hold a level, reasonable tone, without exaggeration, set no cut-off other than [DEADLINE], and be honest about limits. This is drafting help, not legal advice.
