Instructions for Major Professor

1. Please review and verify the information provided by the student.
2. Please indicate your approval of the changes by printing your name and signing this form. There are two methods for signing the form:
   • If the student has applied an electronic signature and emailed it to you, you may sign the form electronically, and then email the signed PDF to the Graduate School at gradspec@utk.edu (this email must come from the email of the major professor).
   • If the student has signed the form physically, you will need to sign it and scan it. The completed form must be emailed to the Graduate School by the department (no student submissions will be accepted). The completed form cannot be accepted by the Graduate School if it is sent from a student email account; it must be sent from the email of a departmental representative.
