Graduate Faculty Status/Doctoral Research Endorsement
The Graduate School has encountered difficulties using Digital Measures and is suspending
its use for the GF and GF/DRE application process until further notice.
Faculty members must complete and email the following electronic documents to their
department chair or school director:
- GF or DRE/GF Application
- UNC Curriculum Vitae
- DRE applications must also include PDFs of only the first page of three publications.
Department chair or school director: Please digitally sign (Adobe Verified signature preferred) and send to your college dean.
The college dean will then forward the application to Carol Steward at Carol.Steward@unco.edu in the Graduate School.
Also, any full-time faculty member or qualified administrator holding graduate faculty
status is eligible to serve on doctoral committees. Those who serve as research advisors
must have the additional doctoral research endorsement (DRE) and must attend the DRE
workshop.
Forms
All applications must be submitted with digital signatures (Adobe verified preferred).
Hand-completed and scanned applications will not be accepted.
