Scheduling a Preliminary or Final Exam

 

When planning a preliminary or final exam, please keep the following in mind:

1. The student, advisor, and the committee must decide on a date and time for the exam. This date should be approximately 4 weeks in advance.

2. The student must reserve a room for the exam (prior to turning in the paperwork).

* For 398 Education, contact Myranda Lyons in the C&I Department at 244-8286.
* For 4F or 4G Education, contact Myranda Lyons in the C&I Department at 244-8286.
* For other rooms in the Education Building, contact the Dean's Office at 333-0960.

3. The student, with the aid of the advisor, must complete the Request for Appointment of Committee Examination form (www.ed.uiuc.edu/ci/forms.html). No signatures are required on this form. This form must be turned in to the Graduate Program Secretary in 314N Education at least 3-4 weeks prior to the exam. Include a copy of the IRB Approval Letter.

NOTE:  If a committee member is not from UIUC, an address and telephone number must be included on the form. In addition, the advisor must provide a letter of justification and the requested committee member's resume with the form.

4. If at all possible, please identify a Contingency Chair to prevent future problems in cases of the Chair leaving the university or having other extenuating circumstances.
