At least one week prior to the student’s scheduled defense, the Graduate School will email a PDF file of the Report of Dissertation Committee form/gold form (pre-populated with the students name and the names and roles of all the committee members) to the student, their supervisor, and the Graduate Coordinator.
...
- On the first page, you need to designate signers, including your advisor, all committee members, and the GSC Chair, Dr. David Mitlin.
- On the second page, fill in your EID and dissertation title and any other required fields, and click Submit.
- IMPORTANT: After clicking submit, the form will route back to you. You will need to click the Release button in the form to send the form to your committee for signature. We recommend releasing the form either right before or right after your defense so your committee can easily find the request in their inboxes.
All members are required to sign and no proxies will be allowed. The form should be turned in by the student to the Graduate School by the graduation deadline. While the Graduate School staff works from home, you may submit all paperwork to GradStudentSvcs@austin.utexas.edu.
In addition, the faculty supervisor will need to complete the Learning Outcomes Form. The supervisor or student may return this form to the Graduate Coordinator.
