Graduate School Forms/Appeals

Tips for the Successful Completion of PDF Forms

• Please do not print, hand write/sign forms or use DocuSign or AdobeSign. This removes the digital completion components.
• Download PDF documents and save them. Open with Adobe Acrobat to complete forms. Do not fill out forms in a browser or Mac Preview.
• Adobe Acrobat Reader is available for free at the Adobe website.
• All faculty need to sign using Adobe Verified Signatures on the same form. (Follow in-app prompts to set up faculty signatures.) Save after each person signs.
