We are currently in the process of transforming all Graduate School forms. The majority of the new forms can be filled in digitally, signed digitally, and submitted electronically. During this period of transition we will accept paper versions of these forms but prefer that you submit the digital versions, if possible. If you submit a hard copy, please bring or send the original and one copy to the Graduate School, 204 Quinn Hall.
Caution: Due to issues of authenticity and security, we cannot accept forms that contain both digital and hand signed signatures. If the first signature is digital, the remaining signatures must also be digital. If the first signature is hand signed, then the remaining signatures must also be hand signed.Faculty/Staff: For instructions on how to create a digital signature in Adobe Reader 8.0 or later, please click here. For Mac users, please click here.
