Doctoral Preliminary Oral Exam Scheduling Process

1. When a student completes the required milestones and supporting documents (approved GDP/GPAS planner, passing preliminary written exam, and approved preliminary Oral exam committee), an automated email is sent to the student with the Doctoral Preliminary Oral Exam Scheduling Form. 

2. This email is sent only once; there are no reminders. 

• Note that you may receive this email several weeks before you plan to schedule your prelim oral exam. File it or note where you can retrieve it when needed.

• Students can choose to schedule the oral exam at the time they receive the email with the link, or later. 

• If you cannot find the initial email, a copy of it can be accessed from MyU: z.umn.edu/communicationcenter The email will be called "Next Steps: Prelim Oral Exam” in the communication center.
