Forms & Scheduling

Forms

  • Committee submission workflow - review examination committee policies and declare or update the examination committee.
  • Preliminary Written Exam Results form - only faculty and staff have submission access, but you can send your advisor the link z.umn.edu/psymilestones to help facilitate timely submission. 
  • Preliminary Oral Examination Results form - GSSP will email you the link to initiate this form for your committee chair.
    • Important: Save GSSP’s email so you can access the link to initiate the Preliminary Oral Exam Form for your committee chair one week in advance of your oral exam.

Scheduling

  1. All Psychology faculty are expected to maintain their Google Calendars to facilitate meeting scheduling. This allows you to use Google Calendar’s Find a Time tool. If all committee members do not actively maintain their calendar, or you do not have view access to their availability, consider using Doodle or another scheduling tool to identify times in common with your committee members.
  2. Work with your committee to determine the exam modality. If your prelim oral exam will be conducted via Zoom, review and follow the Procedure for Holding A Remote Preliminary Oral Exam.
    1. At least two weeks before your prelim oral exam, send your Area Support Specialist an email including:
    2. The date and time of your prelim oral exam,
    3. the names and emails of your committee members,
    4. the name of the faculty member who is serving as the chair of your committee, and 
    5. the modality of your defense (in-person, hybrid, or remote).

Results

  • Advisors communicate written prelim exam results to you in writing. See your area handbook for details.
  • Committee chairs communicate oral exam results verbally at the end of the exam and report the results using an electronic form. You will receive confirmation emails from GSSP when the results form has been received and processed.
