The Graduate School requires all graduate students submit a Program of Study (POS) form. The POS:

1. details all of the courses you will take to complete the requirements of your degree program, and
2. lists the faculty members who will serve as members of your supervisory committee.

On-campus students should submit their POS before the end of their second semester of graduate study, and online students should do so upon completion of 9 credit hours. Students should consult with their major professor when completing the form. The form requires your signature, major professor, supervisory committee members, and the program chair. Once the form is completed, the POS will be forwarded to the Dean of the Graduate school for approval.
