Graduate School

Setting up or changing your thesis/dissertation committee is now an electronic process. This paperless process will generate emails to each committee member so that they can accept or reject the invitation to serve on your committee. Please click HERE for instructions on initiating the committee formation process. For those who are unable to utilize the online process, a fillable PDF form, requiring original signatures and manual delivery to the Graduate School, is available for appointment/change of master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation committee. If you have any questions, please contact grad.registrar@ua.edu.
