The following documents are PDF , most with interactive fields. Download them and fill in the required fields on your computer and print them out.

ADDD

Approval of Dissertation Director. File early in the program.

DCR

Request for Appointment of Committee to Conduct a Doctoral Candidacy Examination. Should be filed at least three weeks before the candidacy. Select the committee members carefully, since they will remain your committee all the way up to the defense.

RDE [OLD]

Report on Doctoral Examinatinon. This form has dual puropose. It should be used to report on the candidacy result. It can be also used to report on the defense (i.e., oral part) of your dissertation. However, for the second purpose it has been replaced by RDE [NEW]

RDE [NEW]

Results of Oral Defense of Thesis or Dissertation. Used to report on the defense (i.e., oral part) of your dissertation.

RODD

Request for Oral Defense of Dissertation. This has to be filed three weeks before the planned defense. Part of the reason of this early filing is that the dean will designate a faculty member to witness the proceedings. This person also gets a copy of your dissertation, hence the reason for submitting your work to the Graduate School before the defense.

ATDD

Approval of Thesis or Dissertation Documentation. This form is used at our department to approve the written part of dissertation or thesis. In practice, on the day of the defense of a dissertation both the ATDD and the RDE [NEW] forms will be filed.
