In summer 2022 all paper-based and pdf forms have been reviewed and revised, introducing a new design, streamlining content, and providing a single form-submission portal for all forms. All pdf forms are now in fillable format allowing electronic signatures. The redesigned forms website provides an easier-to-navigate structure for all of the forms, as well as a short description of the function of each form.
The Graduate School distributes a twice-monthly newsletter that we archive at this blog site. The blog preserve these communications to graduate program directors (GPDs) and graduate coordinators regarding upcoming events, policy updates, administrative announcements and important deadlines.
New Graduate Program Directors (GPDs) and Graduate Coordinators (GCs) may wish to seek access to a variety of systems and resources in service of carrying out their duties in graduate education. Learn what these are and how to request access.
