Section 10. Advancement to Candidacy
After the student has passed the second qualifying examination, the signed Doctoral Forms I and II, as well as the UCSB Graduate Student Conflict of Interest Form, should be submitted to the Staff Graduate Advisor for approval by the DGS and the English Department Chair. After this, the student should submit the forms to Graduate Division and pay the advancement to candidacy fee. When the forms are fully filed, Graduate Division will notify the student of their advancement to candidacy (P2 status), which also entitles the student to faculty privileges at the library for the following quarter.
The appropriate forms and guidelines can be found on the UCSB Graduate Division website.
