Forms & Links
Form instructions, descriptions and samples are provided on the Graduate School website. All forms are dynamic forms and you will access to all forms through RAMweb unless otherwise noted. Most forms will ask for a program code, which for a Masters student is PHYS-MS and the program code for a PhD student is PHYS-PHD.
Disclaimer: We recommend you discuss any of these forms with your adviser or the graduate student coordinator (Amber Paquelet) in the office before turning anything in.
GS-6 Program of Study – The GS6 Program of Study outlines your path to degree completion and keeps expectations between you and your department clear. It identifies the membership of your graduate committee, including your primary advisor, and documents all required courses (taken and planned) for degree completion. This form must be submitted prior to the completion of other graduation requirements and it is to your benefit to complete it as early as possible.
The GS6 form must be received by the Graduate School during or prior to the third semester. If the Graduate School does not receive the GS6, a registration hold will be placed on the student record prior to your fourth semester registration which occurs in October or April of your third semester.
This form is completed in RAMweb, however the “GS-6 Program of Study Worksheet” must be completed and signed by your research adviser and the chair of the graduate advising committee before the student can complete the official RAMweb form. Follow this link to access the PhD worksheet or the MS worksheet.
GS-7 Request for Change of Degree Program – Submit this form to change from one department or program to another, and/or from one degree to another (such as doctoral to master’s). You must complete this form even if you have completed all coursework for the first degree or are working on research only, and wish to gain admission to a new department or degree.
GS-9A Petition for Committee Member Changes – Submit this form to make changes to your committee after your GS6 Program of Study has been approved by the Graduate School. The committee listed in your degree plan must be up to date prior to the preliminary examination (doctoral students), final examination/defense, and thesis/dissertation submission.
GS-16 Report of Preliminary Examination – A preliminary examination is administered at least two terms before the final examination/defense to determine whether the student is qualified to continue toward the doctorate. The completed and signed form must be submitted to the Graduate School within two working days after the results of the examination are known.
GS-24 Report of Final Examination Results – All doctoral students and Master’s Plan A and Plan B students are required to complete and pass a final examination/defense. The examination must be held by the published deadline of the student’s graduating term. The completed and signed form must be submitted to the Graduate School within two working days after the results of the examination are known.
GS-25 Application for Graduation – You must apply or reapply to graduate by the published deadline of the term you intend to graduate. Start the process using the “Apply or Reapply to Graduate” link found in RamWeb.
GS-30 Thesis/Dissertation Submission – All Master’s Plan A students and doctoral students submit this form after either your final thesis or dissertation has been reviewed and approved by your committee. The completed and signed form must be submitted to the Graduate School by the published deadline date of your graduating term and before the electronic submission of the thesis or dissertation. This form includes an optional embargo restriction request section to delay the public release of your thesis or dissertation.
GS-52 Graduation Clearance Response – This form is used by your advisor to indicate how to resolve course discrepancies (if applicable) that were not addressed on your GS25 Application for Graduation. A memo or email directly from your advisor to gradschool@colostate.edu can also be submitted to resolve these course discrepancies.
