The Graduate School has transitioned to an electronic submission process for doctoral forms through a portal hosted through UMSL. The portal works functionally the same as PDF submissions, but with increased speed, accuracy, and tracking ability. Forms must be submitted in order; this may differ depending on which doctoral program you are completing. PDF forms are not accepted.
Please see the below PDFs in reference to your program and how the portal works. This is the general order in which forms are to be submitted.
The Clinical Psychology PhD and Chemistry PhD programs may have a slight variation in the order of forms submissions. Please contact us at graduate@umsl.edu if you have any questions with submitting your forms.
The most significant change involves the D3 form—you’ll note only the previously awarded degree, university, and total number of previously awarded credits. We’ve provided a degree planning sheet to help you and your advisor develop a clear course plan so that you can complete your enrollment efficiently, based on this sheet.
All students must submit D forms through the portal. There are 2 different links to log into the portal, depending on your role.
Potential Issues-
- Previously approved forms not appearing in the portal
- Unable to access the next form
- Unsure how to complete a form accurately
If you run into any issues or have questions, please reach out to graduate@umsl.edu via UMSL email - include your 8 digit student number and details [screenshots, if possible!] about the issue you are encountering.
