  • Fill out the form correctly and collect these signatures well before the department deadline.
  • Have your major professor sign first, followed by the committee members.
  • You may submit the form to the Director of Graduate Studies (Lars Dzikus) before the department deadline.
  • Submit the form by dropping them off in Lars Dzikus’ mailbox in HPER 322.
  • Ms. Trexler will inform you when and where to pick up the form.
  • It will be your responsibility to pick up the form and take it to the Graduate School on time.
  • If you have any questions, first consult the KRSS Graduate Student Handbook (http://krss.utk.edu/files/2013/04/Graduate-Student-Handbook.pdf). If you still have questions, ask your advisor and/or Dr. Dzikus.
