- Graduate School Forms and Website Updated
This summer we have reviewed and updated all of our paper-based and pdf forms, introducing a new design, streamlining content, and providing a single form-submission portal (http://tiny.cc/VTgradforms) for all forms. All pdf forms are now in fillable format allowing electronic signatures. The redesigned forms website at (https://graduateschool.vt.edu/forms.html) provides an easier-to-navigate structure for all of the forms, as well as short descriptions of the function of each form. Students and graduate programs are asked to delete all previously used bookmarks to old versions of Graduate School forms and start using the new forms effective immediately. Feedback and recommendations for corrections on any of the forms may be submitted online (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfsxSNrC4b2yXKd3IcaQBmEMzgRtr9_yy53OraqdReptPrsxg/viewform?usp=sf_link).

The Graduate Honor System, charged with reviewing potential academic integrity violations, is seeking new faculty panelists to support the Honor System in this academic year and beyond. Panelists review case documents and participate in hearings (30-60 minutes, scheduled as needed) to determine whether a violation occurred and to decide on appropriate penalties. To become a panelist, attend a one-hour training session. Please indicate your interest by registering at (https://forms.gle/jicp54EDKnfSRbjv8). If you have any questions about these training sessions, email gibsonm@vt.edu.
