GradPath replaces the paper forms students were previously required to submit (Plan of Study, etc.). You will now prepare and submit your Graduate College forms in GradPath, which is built into UAccess. The forms will be routed online for approval from faculty and the Graduate College.<span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal> <span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Starting October 1, you will find your Graduate College forms by using the link available in your UAccess Student Center – just pull down the “other academic” menu in the Academics section and select “GradPath forms.” (A screen shot is attached to this message.) You will be sent to a page with Graduate College information. To reach your forms, just click the “GradPath Forms” button. On the forms page, you will see a “stack” of forms for your degree or certificate. <span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal> <span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>Your first step in GradPath (for each degree/certificate) is to confirm you are aware of the Responsible Conduct of Research policy.

You can also save a form to come back and complete later.</span><span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal> <span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Note that you do NOT need to repeat any steps you have already completed with paper forms.
