Qualifying Examination Part 2 Procedure

1. Submit a request (via the my.CS portal) during the first five (5) weeks of the semester to the graduate study committee:
   • Select your research area
   • Enter a brief description of your research
   • Suggest 5 possible committee members

   Note that the appointed examining committee may differ from your suggestions since the graduate study committee must balance load among faculty members.
