Zoom Link Do you want your Zoom link to be publicly posted along with the physical location of your event?

All doctoral defenses (EdD and PhD) require a Graduate Faculty Representative (GFR) who serves as a nonvoting member of your supervisory committee and ensures the defense is conducted in alignment with Graduate College policies and procedures. You should have already selected your GFR and included them on your submitted Appointment of Supervisory Committee form. The GFR you list on this Defense Notification Form must match the GFR identified on that form.
Please ensure you have confirmed the GFR’s availability and willingness to serve at the scheduled defense time prior to submitting this form.
If you still need to identify a GFR, or if you need to make a change to your GFR, consult with your Supervisory Committee Chair and refer to the Graduate Faculty Representative information and guidelines. You must submit an updated Appointment of Supervisory Committee form with the correct GFR listed before submitting this Defense Notification Form.
