Hello PHD Students,

Happy Thursday! Right now, I am working to clear up student files and have
been running into issues especially with grad division. Here are some
things I need you all to do in order to not hold you up as you work to
advance to candidacy.

   1. Once you complete your written examination, you must submit your
   results via R'Grad. If you do not record this in R'grad it will cause
   issues when you move to your next items.
   2. You must submit your nomination of the Oral Qualifying Exam Committee
   in R'Grad and have it approved before taking your Oral Qualifying
   examination. You must complete this form, preferably one month before
   taking your exam, but at minimum 2 weeks prior. If you need to make an
   adjustment to your committee it also must be submitted and approved at
   least 2 weeks prior to your Qualifying Exam. *You are not able to
   conduct the exam unless this is first approved, or your exam will be
   voided, and you will need to retake the examination.*
   3. Once all the previous conditions are met, you can take your
   examination. If you have passed, then you must submit your results in
   R'Grad within 48 hours.
   4. After completing your examination if you have not already done so,
   nominate your Dissertation Committee. In many occasions students will use
   the same members from their Oral Qualifying Committee to serve for their
   Dissertation Committee.

Please make sure you follow these instructions as the Grad Division is
getting increasingly stricter with following their guidelines, and it will
result in a hold on your accounts or repeating your examinations.

Sincerely,

Chris
