Processing the PhD Paper Requirement

Required Information

The submission should include the citation or other description of the paper, a URL for the paper, and a short paragraph answering the questions below.

The paragraph should indicate:

What was the student's contribution to the paper?
Is the paper submitted/published in a conference? Which one? What is the acceptance rate (if known)?
Why should this paper be considered as qualified for fulfilling the paper requirement?

Please refer to the Paper Requirement under PhD Academic Requirement section in the Graduate Guidebook for further details.

Submission Procedure

Please send me a message with the student's name and the URL of a web page containing the information above. There is a sample page that you can use as a template.

Action Procedure

The table (sample below) holds the currently active submissions. I will periodically send the PhD committee a message asking the members to look at the submitted materials and respond by a fixed date.

Committee members should respond by sending me a short message identifying the student and either your approval or other comments.

Once the committee has responded, I will forward a recommendation to Agnes/Mitch, who will formally send a letter of approval.

Hopefully, this will not require much time from anybody.

This allows us to avoid holding a meeting to act on these.
