Download detailed student submission instructions


Please bookmark this page - it is updated often and it contains the most up to date information.

  • All forms must be submitted from your UMSL email address. Forms or student specific information coming from any other email address [ex: yahoo, gmail, etc.] will be disregarded. This is the only way we can confirm your identity.
  • Firefox works best with these forms - it can be downloaded for free here.
  • Forms MUST be downloaded and opened with Adobe Reader DC, opening a file within the browser will not allow it to be fillable. Check your browser's download settings to ensure the proper procedure.
    • If you are unable to get the electronic signature to work, print the typewritten form - sign and scan the form to your advisor, via UMSL email.
  • Please send your signed form via UMSL email, as an attachment. Do not use Adobe "Collect Signatures/Send for Signatures" feature.
  • You must obtain signatures from your Advisor, Committee Members, and Graduate Program Director as indicated on the forms before submission to the Graduate School - any forms submitted without these signatures, will be discarded.
  • Your academic unit may have internal deadlines you need to meet and other forms that need to be completed before your paperwork is forwarded to the Graduate School 
  • Please send all forms, after appropriate signatures have been obtained, to  GradSchoolFormsATumsl.edu for faster processing. Incomplete forms will not be evaluated.
