Forms for the Ph.D. in History

Student Responsibilities

Students fill out and distribute all forms to gain faculty signatures and deliver the completed form to the Ph.D. Director and Graduate Coordinator.

Please refrain from leaving forms in the custody of faculty with the expectation that they will circulate the form on your behalf. It is the student’s responsibility to keep forms moving and ensure they arrive where they need to go. The only exception to this policy is the minor field exam grading form, which originates with the minor field exam readers. 

After acquiring all faculty signatures, students must scan and send forms to the Ph.D. Director via email attachment and Cc the Graduate Coordinator for storage in the official student file. 

Signatures 

Students may use electronic signatures by sharing an Adobe PDF version of forms. (Scanners are available in the Department’s mail room and via campus printers.) Please be advised that any form signed using the digital ID signature or DocuSign will result in a locked PDF that will need to be recreated without the digital ID or Docusign. Alternatively, students may carry hard copy forms and request ink signatures by hand or use the Adobe software "Fill & Sign" typed script signature function.

University Forms

For special situations, including re-enrollment following inactive semesters, late schedule adjustments, etc. please see the list of graduate forms on the Registrar's website under "Forms." 

These forms must be approved by the Ph.D. Director and (for some of them) the Department Chair.
