Records & Thesis Office and Staff<\/h1>\n
\n \n\n

About 11,500 Purdue graduate students are enrolled system-wide. Each degree-seeking graduate student submits a plan of study, takes a final examination (doctoral students also take a preliminary examination), and must meet Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS) requirements to receive a degree. The Records staff reviews and approves plans of study and changes to plans of study, oversees the scheduling and reporting of examinations, handles degree audits, and certifies candidates for degrees. The Records staff permanently maintains — for each graduate student — a record of key documents. A range of OGSPS forms, ranging from applications for Research in Absentia to Requests for Transfer of Department are handled by Records staff members. In carrying out their responsibilities, Records staff members serve as an important resource for graduate students, faculty, and staff. They also work closely with colleagues in the Office of the Registrar.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
