At the start of your final year of course work--your second or third year at Emory--you must officially indicate your plans for finishing course work and sitting for the Oral Examination. This “Intent to Proceed” must include the following information and signatures:

1. A list of graduate courses taken at Emory and elsewhere. You must list the courses that fulfill the distribution requirement listed described above in Section II.C.



2. Designation of the intended fields of preparation for the Ph.D. Examination. List the areas, periods, or genres you are preparing for the Ph.D. Examination and include any necessary explanation.



3. The names and signatures of the three members of your Advisory Committee. You need to present this “Intent to Proceed” for approval to your committee, whose members may recommend further course work if your background seems deficient in some areas.

Once the “Intent to Proceed” form is approved by a student’s Advisory Committee, it is to be forwarded to the DGS. Until this form is on file, the Department assumes that a student has not yet reached the final term of course work.
