When scheduling your preliminary or final oral exam:

1. Reserve a room with Sara Kross (skross5@live.unc.edu) at least a week in advance. When requesting a room for your defense, include the title and abstract of your thesis/dissertation and she will add it to the web calendar.

2. The Doctoral Exam Report form must be filled out by your committee chair at the end of each exam. (Master’s candidates use the Comprehensive Exam Report form.) These forms are kept on file in Laurie Straube’s office. Notify her a week in advance of your exam date to ensure that your form is ready for pick-up. Before the preliminary exam, Ph.D. candidates also need to fill out the Doctoral Committee Composition form (http://gradschool.unc.edu/pdf/wdcomm.pdf).
