Thesis and Dissertation Milestone Reports

To initiate MS and PhD Milestone Reports where all participants sign the report  electronically  within their internet browser,  either the student or a department representative must fill out and submit the GSO Milestone Initiation Request Form, available below. Once the request has been received, GSO will fill out and upload the corresponding report to DocuSign in order to start the process of collecting all required signatures. The report will be emailed automatically to one participant at a time for their in-browser electronic signature based on the order of participant names shown on the report. 

NOTE: The PhD Qualifying Examination Report can only be initiated by a faculty member. 

The timeline for PhD program milestones is as follows:

PhD Advisor Designation - to be done with a prior MS degree by the end of the 4th semester; without a prior MS degree, by the end of the 5th semester
PhD Committee Appointment Report - to be done by the end of the 5th semester
PhD Proposal Defense Report - to be done by the end of the 6th semester 
PhD Final Defense Report - to be done after the student's final dissertation defense
