All Graduate Students

With this form we will collect important information about what courses you plan to take and how you will be supported. Therefore, ALL graduate students (not just GTAs or GRAs) must complete this form!

Work assignments are determined based on the information you provide on this form. Therefore, you must consult with your advisor to determine how you will be supported and to obtain their approval for your plans. Once you submit this form your advisors electronic signature will be obtained.

Course Registration

It is important that we know what courses you will be taking spring semester. This will help us finalize the schedule for graduate courses and schedule your work assignment. A list of the tentative spring math courses is included.

List ALL courses you plan to take.
Include MATH 584, 592.002, 695, 699, 798, 799 so we have an accurate record of your plans.
We strongly encourage you to register for courses by November 15 or risk losing GTA support.
Courses which have insufficient (<5) enrollment by December 5 are most likely to be cancelled.
Graduate Teaching Assistants must get approval from the Graduate Director to register for courses taken outside the Math Dept.
