Student Forms
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that completed forms are received by the UGS on time and that all deadlines are met. To monitor the status of the forms at UGS, students must log in to https://my.fiu.edu/, and navigate to the Tasks tile.
Currently, all UGS related documents have been moved to electronic submissions.
The online dissertation milestone submission is available for doctoral students. Please refer https://gradschool.fiu.edu/online-dissertation-milestones/.
For thesis forms, revised dissertation/thesis committees, and change of graduate degree forms, please do communicate with your academic department/college, as your associate deans will send your PDF files to us. The names of the college deans are listed in these UGS forms. However, the associate deans for your college are the ones who review these forms.
For ISSS forms requiring UGS deans signatures, email them to ugs@fiu.edu.
If using DocuSign, please do not include the email addresses of UGS deans as recipients.
