Neutral Chair’s Report for Master’s Thesis Defence – Electronic Workflow
Further Information:
For neutral chairs who prefer to have a printed version of the report at the exam, please download the PDF form, fill in all relevant exam information, and forward it to the neutral chair for completion. The neutral chair can then print the form, take it to the exam, complete the form, and scan and email it to gradtheses.ok@ubc.ca after the exam.
Where the neutral chair is comfortable with electronic workflows, please fill in all relevant exam information and click Submit. The form will then route to the neutral chair for completion. By clicking the Jotform link, the neutral chair can login with their CWL and complete and submit the form at or after the exam (they can also save and continue later).
IMPORTANT CHANGES: The neutral chair will be blocked from completing the exam section of the form until they change the answer of “Are you the neutral chair” to “Yes.” Due to system functionality, the neutral chair has to complete two steps: 1. Submit and 2. Approve. These instructions are built into the email to the neutral chairs; however, since these are process changes, we expect there to be some confusion until the process becomes more familiar.
