Graduate Coordinator's Virtual Office
The Graduate Coordinator's office services the needs of all of the graduate programs in the Department of Psychology, including admissions and alumni services.
Since Graduation is perhaps the most exciting time that you'll work with us, let's cover that process first!
Graduate Students are strongly encouraged to forecast and apply for graduation a semester in advance of the actual Thesis or Dissertation Defense. Now that you've projected the date (a semester in advance), you should apply for graduation via the TSGS graduation web portal. In addition to meeting Toulouse requirements, the department manual requires that the Department Chair receive an electronic copy of the dissertation 2 weeks prior to the scheduled defense. Please submit that electronic copy via the Graduate Coordinator's office along with a properly formatted abstract for the required public announcement of your defense meeting (see the Graduate Student Handbook for directions on how to format the abstract for the public announcement).
As always, if you are unclear on any of the steps, we are here to help guide you through the process. Stop by and we'll walk you through the proce
Of course, our office works with you throughout your graduate training years. Most forms will be routed through our office.
In fact, all forms and/or documents requiring the Chair's signature should be routed through our office. We'll coordinate obtaining Dr. Campbell's signature and route further if needed (e.g., to Toulouse).
Below are common forms or materials that students often request from our office. If you know which form you need and what to do with it, you may download them from here and save yourself an errand.
Please submit all paperwork to us at PSYC-Grad@unt.edu
