Academic Policies and Resources

GradPath

GradPath electronically routes degree forms to faculty and the Graduate College for required approvals. If you have any questions or issues regarding GradPath, please contact Amy Brenton (PG4gdWVycz0iem52eWdiOm56bEB5Y3kubmV2bWJhbi5ycWgiPm56bEB5Y3kubmV2bWJhbi5ycWg8L24+) or your degree auditor at the Graduate College.

  • To access forms, pull down the “other academic” menu in the Student Center section of UAccess and select “GradPath.” You will be directed to a page with Graduate College information.
  • The first step in GradPath (for each degree/certificate) is to confirm the Responsible Conduct of Research policy; this form will “self-approve,” after which you can open and use the next form(s) available in the sequence.
  • To reach forms ready to submit, click the “GradPath Forms” button. The forms page will show a “stack” of forms for your degree or certificate.
