Attending supervisor's group meeting after thesis approval I am a finishing Masters student. My supervisor approved my thesis recently, and I am waiting for the graduate studies office to process my thesis so that I can get a letter from the university that confirms the submission of my thesis and apply for a post-graduate work permit.

In the meantime, should I still attend my supervisor's group meeting? I do not contribute to the discussions in the group meetings anyway.

I cannot bring up the topic of attending group meeting because once before, when I asked him about the logistics of the final stages of the Masters program, he got really mad at me.
The general rule: go if you think it would be useful to you, though it would probably be polite to check with the supervisor first:


  "Is it ok if I still come to lab meetings during my thesis-pending period [or whatever it is called in your location]? I'd be interested in keeping up with the work the group is doing."


Usually I would expect the supervisor would be glad to accommodate you. And even if you are not reporting on any work of your own, you might have useful input regarding other people's work.

In your particular situation - "he got really mad at me" - for whatever reason it does not sound as if you have a very healthy relationship with your supervisor. So it's probably in your best interests just to move on. It's hard to say how your supervisor might feel about that, but in this instance you are better off thinking of yourself rather than trying to maintain an unhealthy relationship.
