work. Each of these steps will require the Experimental Program Forms
to be filled out and filed in your student file by the Graduate Admissions Program Coordinator, Marti Brown.
Many of the forms will require approval from the graduate director and/or your advising committee. The Graduate School
should be notified of completion of each the steps, with the exception of the prospectus approval. Marti (martibrown@sc.edu, in Barnwell 248) can help you with the notification process.
