Request for Appointment of Doctoral Examination Committee

(This form is for use by University Staff only)

There are now two additional ways to prepare the Request for Appointment of Doctoral Examination Committee Form electronically. You may still submit the green typewritten form.

Download Microsoft Word 97/98/2000 Template

Download Instructions

Windows Users

  1. Click here to download the document template to your computer. This will download a self-extracting zip file named DocExam.exe
  2. When the File Download dialog box displays, save the program to your local drive. A temporary directory is fine.
  3. Once the download is complete, execute/open the program that you downloaded. This will extract the file docexam.dot.
  4. When prompted by the program, select the folder for your Word document templates as the place to store the extracted file. (If you do not know where Microsoft Word stores templates, open a document in Word and select Tools/Options from the menu. Check the File Locations tab to see where the User Templates are stored. This is the location to place the new template. See your network administrator if you are still unsure of how to add a template to Word.)

Mac Users

  1. If you are a Mac user and have Office 98, click here to download the document template. Please note that when you are prompted by the browser for where to save the download file, you will need to save the file with a dot extension. Your browser may default the name to DocExam.doc. This should be changed to DocExam.dot.
  2. Copy the download file to the folder for your Word document templates. (If you do not know where Microsoft Word stores templates, open a document in Word and select Tools/Options from the menu. Check the File Locations tab to see where the User Templates are stored. This is the location to place the new template. See your network administrator if you are still unsure of how to add a template to Word.)

Using the Template

  1. Create a new word document. When prompted by Microsoft Word, select the docexam.dot template from the template list on the General Tab. (If you do not see docexem.dot on the template list, you have not saved the template file to the correct location.)
  2. Enter the information on the form. You will only be permitted to type in the data entry fields. You can tab between fields or use your mouse to move to a specific field. You can now save or print the completed form; your template will remain unchanged.
  3. Mail a copy of the signed, printed form to:
