Doctoral Preliminary Exams | School of Kinesiology

Closely review and follow the degree completion steps for your program.
After you have completed the majority of your coursework, submit your Graduate Planning & Audit System (GPAS).
Submit your GPAS exceptions requests if necessary; work with your graduate program coordinator if you have questions.
Assign members to your prelim committee after your GPAS has been submitted and approved. Not all faculty may serve on your committee. Find committee members in the Graduate Faculty Role List Database; search under 'Kinesiology PhD.' If you cannot find the member in the list, please contact the Graduate Program Coordinator. Outside members need to be set up as persons of intereste to the University so they can access UMN email and forms. This can be done by the graduate program coordinator and administrative director of the School of Kinesiology.
Have your faculty adviser report the results of your prelim written exam to the Graduate Program Coordinator via email together with your prelim exam questions, answers, and comments from your committee members.
Schedule the Prelim Oral Exam with the Graduate School at least one week in advance. Contact the Graduate Program Coordinator to reserve a room for your exam.
