Graduate School Forms, Policy, and Appeals

Graduate School Forms

This page provides forms and procedures for many Graduate School functions—including, but not limited to dissertation submission and approval forms; faculty and staff forms related to graduate student defenses, application for candidacy, and results of oral defense; and adds, drops, petitions, requests for leave, and more. 

Advisor/Advisee Agreement

We require all thesis students and their advisors to read and sign an agreement about the advisor/advisee relationship, expectations, and requirements. This is not a mandated mentoring rubric, but prompts a discussion between advisors and advisees prior to thesis work. You can read the Advisee Agreement here. 

The Graduate School Policy on Professional Conduct

In keeping with Baylor University’s commitment to mutual respect and personal integrity, the Graduate School expects that all students will conduct themselves in a manner befitting their professional identity.
