Forms

All paperwork relating to your academic record must go through the Graduate Records Office (GRO). You are responsible for getting faculty, adviser, and department chair signatures on these forms. After obtaining these signatures, you must return the form to the GRO for the Associate Dean’s review and signature.

The following forms are all available in the GRO or online:

Petition To The Faculty: Used to request any deviation from curriculum, such as waiving or replacing requirements, transferring graduate credits from another university, or taking a course from another school or college within SU.

Proposal For Independent Study: Used to register for independent study.

Internship Proposal/Agreement: Used to register for experience credit.

Grading Option Application: Used to audit a course.

Request For Incomplete Grade: Used when you are unable to complete a course’s requirements in the semester for which you are registered. You and the instructor come to an agreement, whereby you will be allowed to complete the course requirements at a later date. The form is used to put this agreement in writing.

Add/Drop Form: Since most students adjust their schedules online, this is only used to drop a course after the add deadline has passed (since students cannot complete it on MySlice after that deadline) or to correct registration due to extenuating circumstances after deadlines have passed. It can also be used for flex classes that have different start and end dates.

Full-Time Status Form: In rare circumstances, this is used to certify a student as full-time during a particular term when a student is not registered for enough credits to be considered full-time.

Thesis Forms: Once you are ready to work on the thesis, several forms are required. Those include the Master’s Thesis Proposal Acceptance Form, the Proposed Master’s Thesis Adviser and Committee, and Request for Examination.

Leave of Absence/Withdrawal: Used when a student elects to take a leave of absence or when a student is withdrawn for not making satisfactory progress in his/her degree program.
