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. The student or supervisor will be responsible for bringing the form to the defense, which all committee members will sign after the student successfully completes the defense. All members are required to sign and no proxies will be allowed. Digital or “scanned” signatures are accepted. The supervisor may return the form to the graduate coordinator, or the student may if the supervisor wishes. The form must be signed by the GSC Chair and turned in by the student to the Graduate School in MAI 101 by the graduation deadline. While the Graduate School staff works from home, you may submit all paperwork to GradStudentSvcs@austin.utexas.edu.
