Doctoral Advisory Conference Report (ACR) Submission*
(also used for changes to an approved ACR)
Advisory Conference Report (doc)
(submit via online form above; do not send directly to Graduate College)
*The Advisory Conference Report is due no later than the term before the general examination. It is important to allow sufficient time for your Graduate College counselor to thoroughly review your ACR prior to your exam. ACR review will take longer during peak times, such as the final month of the term when many defenses and exams are typically held. If your ACR has errors or does not meet degree requirements or policies, you will need additional time to make corrections, consult with your academic unit, and re-submit the ACR. Therefore, follow the suggested ACR submission deadlines below to ensure your general exam schedule stays on track:
- Second week of May, for fall exam
- Second week of October, for spring exam
- Second week of February, for summer exam
An accelerated degree program (ADP) enables qualified undergraduate students to earn a master’s degree in an accelerated time frame.
When a student is admitted to an ADP, the Accelerated Degree Graduate Coursework Plan (ADGCP) should be turned in to the Graduate College. This normally takes place in the junior year or early in the senior year.
ADGCP forms below are organized by the undergraduate college.
