Oral Defense Forms
Arrangement forms should be submitted to your college. TAD Services maintains these forms on this website as a courtesy.
A copy of the Report of Oral Defense should be submitted to TAD Services after all committee members approve the content of the document. (This form can be submitted by your college or department administrator). The form cannot be accepted without all signatures. A committee member can designate someone to sign the report if he or she is not available to provide a physical signature. In this case, please attach a letter or email from the committee member briefly detailing the situation.
