1. Complete and submit the "Braniff Graduate School Advising Form” located at the Registrar's Student Forms webpage at: https://udallas.edu/offices/registrar/braniff-advising-form.php. (There is a place on the form for comments if needed.) Based on the program entered, the form will automatically be routed via email to the appropriate Graduate Director/Advisor. *If you have enrolled as a Non-Degree Seeking student or Humanities student with the intention of eventually applying to another program, please indicate this on the Braniff School Advising Form in the "Optional Comments" section.
2a. If the form is approved, your advisor will forward the form via email to registrar@udallas.edu. (You will be copied on this email using the email address submitted on the form.)
2b. If the form is not approved, your advisor will forward the form via email to your email address with advice about what to change. If this happens, you will need to reply to the email with agreement or communication regarding the requested change. Once this is finalized and agreed to by both you and the advisor via email, the advisor will forward the form and communication regarding the approval to registrar@udallas.edu.
3. Once the Registrar's Office has received the approved form, the holds on your registration will be removed and confirmation sent via email.
