How does one apply for the OQE?

Application forms are available in the EECS Graduate Office (38-444) and in the Area II Secretary's office (NE43-305). Applications are due in the Area II Secretary's office on Registration Day of the term in which the exam is to be taken. The application is in two parts: an EECS form and an Area II supplementary page.

When applying for an examination, you should meet with your faculty counselor, research supervisor, or the Area Chairman to:

1. Discuss which Computer Science faculty members you would like to have on your Exam Committee. You will list at least three of these, in order of preference, on the Area II supplement.

2. Indicate (under item 9 on the application form) the names of three EECS faculty members not in Area II who seem desirable for your examining committee. This information will be used in assigning a Departmental Representative to your committee.
