This form is used to delete and/or add advisors and reading committee members. The area committee, area chair, and Associate Dean of Educational Affairs review these requests. Before submitting the form to the Doctoral Programs Officer, obtain the signatures of advisors and/or reading committee members who are being added. Notify the faculty member (or members) who is being removed, but you do not need his/her signature. Students must sign this form as well.

This form is used to change or add a PhD subplan (for example, switching from Sociology of Education to Educational Linguistics, or adding Race, Inequality, and Language in Education as a second subplan in addition to your current subplan). This form can be submitted prior to all coursework for that subplan being completed, but please note that you will not be cleared to go TGR or graduate until all course-related degree requirements have been completed for all subplans. While this eForm does not require advisor approval, students are responsible for ensuring that their advisor approves of their plan to switch or add a subplan.
