The Proposal describes the student's planned research project or thesis. The student must ask specifically how involved this instructor plans to be, and act accordingly. If the proposed topic or title changes substantially from the original idea, i.e., an entirely different country, industry or process will be the focus, a new Proposal must be filled out and signed. This form is necessary for research using surveys, questionnaires, focus groups or interviews, however informal, and should be attached to the Proposal. The student signs it, the first reader signs it, and the form is turned in to BUS 325 for the program director's signature.
All deadlines are on the Web site calendar .
When the GAP is approved by the evaluator, it is then entered on the computer. Touchtone registration requires that both the GAP and the Proposal have been approved and entered on the computer by Graduate Division, or registration will be electronically blocked. Touchtone registration also requires the schedule number of the section assigned to the student's supervising instructor. This will appear in the online Class Schedule just prior to the start of the registration cycle. If an instructor does not have a section, please contact the Graduate Business Office.
