For a list of forms go to the Graduate Student Forms page.
Step 1: By the end of your second semester of graduate work, you should have a Program of Study and a Committee on file with the Office of the Registrar. If at any time you need to make a change to your approved program of study, please submit a Request for Change in Graduate Program form.
Step 2: For doctoral students only: the preliminary examination is taken after the committee and program of study are approved and on file with the Office of the Registrar. Your committee will notify you when you are ready for this examination. Following the examination, the Report of Preliminary Examination for the Ph.D. or Ed.D. Degree must be filed with the Office of the Registrar whether you pass or fail.
Step 3: If your research involves human subjects, you must consult with the Research and Economic Development Division. A copy of the approval letter for Human and Animal Subject Approval forms must be included in the appendix of your thesis or dissertation.
Step 4: Be sure all of the documents listed above are submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the appropriate deadline. Utilize any petitions you might need, e.g., 6 year, 4 year, 12 hour, etc.
