When should I submit my CTEC form?

Master’s students must submit the CTEC form no later than the term prior to expected graduation.

Doctoral students must submit the CTEC form prior to submitting the Request for the Report on the General Oral Examination.

Do I still need to see my Graduate Program Officer and Graduate School advisor?

Can I change my committee after I have completed my CTEC Form?

Yes. To make committee updates, first get approval from all parties affected, then email the changes to gradpln@auburn.edu. Do not resubmit the CTEC form. Your Graduate Advisors will verify and make the necessary updates in Banner.

What if I have transfer courses and/or exceptions/substitutions?

On the CTEC Form, include transfer courses and any exceptions. For transfer work, make your entries in the “Transfer Courses” section. Use the Exceptions section for any curriculum/time limit exceptions or substitutions.

How do I know what classes I need to take?
