Graduate Student Forms Center
In an effort to increase the customer focus of our graduate student services, the Office of Graduate Studies and Research is pleased to provide on-line access to many of the common forms that graduate students need during their degree program. Hard copies of these forms are also available in the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, 2nd Floor, Lyle Hall. Please note that the following forms are being provided in .pdf format (Abode Acobrat), unless noted otherwise, for your use.
Forms dealing with degree progress and completion:
Application for Admission to Degree Candidacy (all master's programs) (.pdf format) - intended for students seeking to advance to degree candidacy. It is student's responsibility to initiate the candidacy review process by applying to their respective department within the required semester-hour limitation.
