Is it appropriate for graduate students to send text messages to their tutors to say goodbye?

It depends on at what stage the project is farewell, whether it is just preparing to graduate in the third year and then go out for internship to bid farewell to the tutor, or just finishing a project and preparing to leave the laboratory to bid farewell to the tutor.

Because if there are conditions, it is better for most of them to say goodbye to their tutors in person and then exchange greetings. After all, this form of farewell will make people feel more formal and will not appear perfunctory, especially with the mentor. If there are conditions for face-to-face communication, it will definitely leave a better influence on the tutor.

But unless there is a contradiction with the tutor, or you are not familiar with the tutor, there is no communication at ordinary times, and the relationship is basically average. Send WeChat or say goodbye. After all, your relationship is not very good, and it is not so abrupt to get together and leave. Especially if you seldom meet a mentor, this way will be better.

Of course, if it is the latter's ordinary farewell, try to be polite in the text message, that is, say hello politely.

The other is that because there are no conditions, people may not be convenient to say goodbye to their tutors in different places face to face, or they may choose to contact them via SMS or WeChat. Of course, this way of online communication should also be as polite as possible.
